Hi, my name is Leo and I have been studying in Canada since January last year, at William Academy. Now I'm in the 12th grade. My campus is in Coburg, which is a small town two hours from Toronto, on the shores of Lake Ontario.Hi, my name is Leo and I have been studying in Canada since January last year, at William Academy.

I like studying at William School, although the process itself is quite different from studying in a Serbian school. Here, every two months, I study two subjects, then take exams in them. This allows you to focus on the material and understand it better. The teachers are good, attentive, and friendly to students, regardless of their training. In general, I think that the level of teaching at school is quite high, although after a Serbian school, mathematics, for example, seems easy to me. And it was very interesting for me to work with a teacher from Oxford who taught our Advanced Functions class.
Living conditions in the school dormitory are quite acceptable: we live in small but comfortable rooms for 2-3 people. However, at the moment I was left alone in my room, because my roommate was expelled for academic failure and regular violation of the house rules, so I can say that discipline is closely monitored at school. I also like that there is a small gym where I can train. We have three meals a day, varied, and one day the cook, having learned that I was from Serbia, cooked chorba especially for me! It was very nice. In general, they try to diversify the menu with dishes of national cuisine. And during the holidays, we were taken to Toronto several times, as well as to the neighboring town to the zoo and bowling alley.
William School is international, children from literally all over the world study here! I now have friends that I would never have met if I hadn't come here: from Mexico, Vietnam, India, etc. Some of them have already graduated and left, successfully entering universities, but we still communicate and even meet occasionally.
I would like to express my gratitude to Smart Products and Services for their help in choosing a school, preparing documents and obtaining a visa. It was very difficult, we would not have coped without specialists. Special thanks to Julia S. and Ekaterina M., who kindly and unfailingly helped to solve a variety of issues and problems.
