Tandem International Multilingual School

Do not recommend at all! I did not see nearly any development on my american speaking 3yo son that was there for 3 months. He has been attending Globegarden now for 3 weeks and he comes back home singing and counting. Tandem has a big hype because of the location, it's true that they go to the park or lake almost everyday (spring/summer) but every time we would pick him up there was a diferent, young, assistant teacher that looked less motivated. The main teacher was a darling and dedicated, but in a class with 8-10 little kids, no one can do miracle. Their class room was astonishing small and was a walkthrough area to the other rooms, with an absurd amount of left over Lego toys that is what they seemed to be doing every day. Few books in a corner and mixed kids of 2 years apart (some are crawling and some are looking extremely bored because they are nearly 3yo. The windows are tinted because they face the tram tracks that are loud, therefore not much natural light. We signed a contract with them because they promised us the hours and days we needed, only to say that the solution would take a year, after we signed the contract (hence we lost 6k having to break a contract) Administration took close to 6 weeks to respond to our emails and several phone calls were left unresponsive. Also, when we CC'd the CEO because we were having problems with a bullish financial admnistator he did not bother to respond or try to understand our case. My opinion is that the school grew too big and they don't hire enough people and have a lot of apprenticeship helping out. If you want more information, just email me, my name is the same on Facebook. It's reallly sad they take advantage of expat parents whom just moved in and are in desperately need of help.
