Ich war fürs Sportgymnasium an der Feusi in Bern und konnte Sport und Schule wirklich gut kombinieren. Die Schulzimmer und das Gebäude sind modern und schön, die Lehrer waren cool drauf - auch wenn man wegen einem Trainingslager mal gefehlt hat. In der Klasse hatten wir es sowieso mega gut.

Eine kleine, familiäre Schule, welche sich für ihre Schüler einsetzt. Sehr nette und kompetente Lehrpersonen und eine gute Organisation. Weiter so!

So far this was my best experience learning German because the teacher targeted our weaknesses and set a lot of focus on guided talking instead of mere grammar. Studied A2 and B1.
