CBS, The British School of Seville – Colegio Británico de Sevilla – Bollullos de la Mitación

Nuestro hijo Rodrigo MD ha empezado una nueva etapa de su vida en El Colegio Británico de Sevilla. Ha cambiado notablemente, tanto en sus hábitos diarios, como en su alimentación, en líneas generales se ha vuelto mucho más responsable, y sobretodo que ha recuperado la ilusión de aprender y seguir avanzando. A día de hoy, podemos decir que ha sido un acierto absoluto el cambio de colegio. Muchas gracias al CBS y al magnífico equipo hunano que acompaña a nuestro hijo diariamente y hace que todo esto sea mucho más fácil !!

Si tiene pensado matricular su hijo en este centro, infórmese antes. No hay un proceso de selección y puede entrar cualquiera. Lo lamentable de todo esto, es que su hijo se puede encontrar con alumnos que han sido invitados a irse de otros centros por su bajo nivel o por conductas inadecuadas y aquí pueden campar a sus anchas. Existe otro colegio con el mismo reclamo que compite con este centro para ver cuál es el peor colegio privado del Aljarafe sevillano. Recapacite y reúna todos los datos, se evitará males mayores. Un abrazo.

It‘s all about money. When I first heard about the CBS I was so full of hope, that everything I read and heard about the school might be true. My son (13 at the time) had a troublesome school experience after the lockdown in 2020, therefor I was searching for something great, different and where the focus is on the child. I moved from Berlin to Sevilla only because of the CBS and what they promised. After the first year, which was an improvement!, my son became more and more unhappy. He felt isolated and as he didn’t speak much Spanish, he had no friends. I got in touch with the school to ask for help. But in their opinion everything was great, my son was doing fine… His struggles started to reflect on his grades, and he became depressed. I feared he might revert to the state from which he came. My last e-mail to the school in November 2022 was ignored. For me as a single mom, it is very difficult to come up with the school fees. But I always managed to pay them on time! When my son declined, I knew I needed to react fast. The biggest problem for my son was the language gap ( the other students only speak English in class, as soon as they leave the classroom they fall back into Spanish! ) My son still didn’t speak much Spanish after 1,5 years, another promise the CBS failed to keep ( to teach him Spanish intensively ). I decided to have a look at an alternative international school. The first visit went really well, my son immediately said he had a much better feeling, and I observed the pupils speaking English even when off campus. From day one I had the CBS involved, but they were angry that I was even considering a change. I tried to explain that for me the condition of my son was very troublesome and that it was necessary to react. But for the CBS it was all about money. They said I will have to pay for the rest of the school year. They are counting on that money and I had signed the paper (which is true of course). I argued that this is impossible for me, that I have always been honest about my financial situation, and that I cannot leave my son at this school where he is pushed further into Retraumatization. I tried to make them understand that for me it’s about the wellbeing of my son. I offered to work voluntarily at the school, to make up for the amount they will miss, as I am currently unemployed and can’t afford to pay 2 schools. I can barely pay for one. I asked for compassion in our special case. When I decided to transfer my son to the other school, my school access was immediately blocked, we did not even have access to the last report card. In retrospect, I have heard of several similar cases. The families were forced to leave the traumatized children at the school until the end of the school year, because they signed a contract that guaranteed payment. My son is attending the other school since a half a year now. His condition has improved significantly. He has many international friends and his school attendance raised from 70% up to 89%! His grades are not the best, but for me it was never about being the best student. It was and is all about my child having a good School experience. Today I am facing a lawsuit from CBS. I do not regret to have left my country to come to Sevilla, and also not for having signed up to the CBS. But it makes me deeply sad, the greed for money is higher than the individual needs of the children. I hope no-one must experience this lack of compassion and I wish the school to grow in this respect.

Mi hija es alumna desde la guardería (ya van 3 años, ahora en Year 1). La experiencia está siendo excelente tanto para ella como para nosotros los padres. Muy contentos con el centro e individualmente con cada uno de los profesores que ha tenido, grandes profesionales. Recomiendo a las familias que estén valorando opciones hacer una visita y conocer de primera mano.

Lo recomiendo 100%, trato excelente, un alto nivel de enseñanza, en poco tiempo se nota la implicación que tienen, tengo a mis dos hijos allí y estamos super contentos, tanto ellos como nosotros. Ánimamos a todos los papis que lo estén planteando a que no se lo piensen, os alegrareis!!

Sin duda un entorno único en el que los más pequeños aprenden haciendo lo que mejor se les da, “SER NIÑOS” y comportarse como tal, examinando a su alrededor, usando su creatividad e imaginación y por su puesto “DISFRUTANDO” a la vez que “APRENDEN” de la mano de un gran equipo de profesionales. No puedo estar más satisfecha con el colegio. Me encanta ver lo feliz que es mi hijo allí.

I had an interview with the school and was invited to come to the school to teach observed lessons of History. The organisation of the school was poor. The head of the school Samantha never even had the decency after to inform me whether I would receive the job or not. Luckily, I was not offered the position as I have been informed by other teachers that this school is not a good place to work, and teachers are treated poorly.

Encantada como madre con el colegio,y feliz de ver la evolución personal y académica de mis hijos,el colegio está compuesto por grandes personas y grandes profesionales,el método académico desarrolla al máximo las capacidades individuales de cada alumno. Soy madre de tres hijos,mi hijo mayor ha estado en el cole y no solamente ha salido formado y orientado hacia su futuro profesional sino que además desde el cole le han guiado para ello,ya está en la universidad,el mediano está en el cole y el pequeño entrará próximamente.
