  • I've read about this school on one more resource. It is said that there has been some special curriculum that ensures the fast integration of students into the educational process. I suppose that it's great, and I've also found this informative post on different assessments and curriculum that are used in modern school\colleges and so on. I think that it's an interesting field to investigate and compare different approaches.
