Every morning I start pretty late, around 9.a.m. When I first arrive and can see the school I see the majestic white, high building with and the beautiful flowers that surround it. When I walk through the big main entrance I see the cafeteria with free food, which is really good if you didn't have time to eat breakfast. They serve everything from waffles and pancakes to fruit salads, smoothies and cookies. The lessons are always really fun, because the teachers are totally amazing. They really put their heart into this, and do everything they possibly can to make the students’ time in school fun and educational. They always listen to their students, and let them decide how to learn different things. In this school, they just don't listen to the pupils and then decide what to do by themselves anyway, they really decide depending on what the students have to say. During the lessons we can do everything from watching educational movies or reading to visiting different places that have something to do with our current topic. And as I mentioned earlier, we always start pretty late compared to other schools. That’s because our teachers value the students’ sleep and think it’s better to have had a lot of sleep and work focused for a couple of hours rather than working more hours when you're not concentrated due to lack of sleep. All the students at this school are really different, but we all accept each other anyway.
Between the lessons we usually have around 30 minutes free when we can do whatever we want. We could hang out at one of the “living rooms” as we call it, which are rooms that are meant to be used by us. In these rooms they have couches, TVs where we can watch movies and tv series, speakers if we’d like to listen to music, and even candy and fruit free for us to take if we’d like to. We could also be at the cafeteria, where you could buy something to eat if you're hungry when it's not lunch. Or maybe you want to go outside to the garden? In the summer they often have activities in our garden that often includes water balloons, waterslides and tons of other fun things! But that's to prefer if you have longer pauses between the lessons so you don't have to walk soaking wet to the next lesson. When it's time for lunch they always serve a buffet with many options of different dishes. They often serve food like pizza, pasta, tacos, lasagna and Indian dishes. Well pretty much everything you can think of. They also always have the same salad bar. There you can pick freely from all types of vegetables, croutons, chicken, bacon, and different types of dressings. That way you can always make your own salad if you wouldn't like the other food that's served.
One of the most important things at our school is that everyone's equal and no one should be discriminated. We don't have that many special rules, but there's one. If anyone would bully or discriminate other people at the school, they often get expelled. Not forever, but we really want to show that we don't accept bullying, so we forbid some students to come here for some days up to a week, depending on what they did. I actually think that’s good, because now no one that I've heard of in the whole school has had to be expelled in the last years!
I just think this school is amazing, the students are always put first and the school makes sure we get a good time here at the same time as we get really educated!
