We are not a chain school, but owned by a teaching Director helped by proud Nelson staff. The school has a ‘buzz’' and you will have the time of your life. Nelson is small and lively. It has a campus feeling with cafes and style. People are friendly and talk to you in English. Most variety. Golden beaches, forests and mountains one hour from the city centre.
