What are the schools in Ecuador like?
When we asked about the schools in Ecuador, they said...
"Highly recommend this wonderful school. They tailor their program to meet the needs of the individual child," said one expat in Cumbaya with children at Colegio Menor San Francisco de Quito (CMSFQ).
"I would highly suggest taking a look at all options in Quito. This school has made a rapid change to being an elitist, local school where students of powerful local families are given preferential treatment and their parents are allowed to dictate what is done at the school. Discipline is non-existent. The curriculum is constantly "being worked on" and the school is all about how it appears, not substance. Bullying by local, wealthy is prevalent and the school takes no action. The answer is to make the target and their family the problem and wait for them to leave while the bully is allowed to continue for years to come," remarked one parent with kids at Academia Cotopaxi in Quito.
