"After my first day a AGGS I knew I would have the best time ever over here. I was welcomed so warmly and everybody was so nice to me that I found new friends very quickly. The teachers were also really great and helpful so that I had no problems to understand my new subjects, even though they were not taught in my first language and as I had no experience at all in some of them.
In general, I can say that my time at AGGS was one of the best times in my life, thanks to my teachers, classmates and new friends. I learnt so many new things, about life, about other cultures and about the subjects I chose. I want to say thank you to everyone at this school for so many things but especially for being unbelievably hospitable and tolerant."
