Catholic principles

Through a curriculum that integrates Catholic principles and moral values, students are encouraged to develop not only academically but also spiritually and morally.
Strong curriculum

Catholic culture and history
Catholicism has played a significant role in shaping European culture and history for centuries. The Vatican, located in Rome, has been a prominent center of the Catholic Church and its leadership. The Roman Empire's adoption of Catholicism as its official religion in the 4th century also contributed to the religion's influence throughout Europe. From art and architecture to politics and social norms, Catholicism has left a lasting impact on European society, making it deeply rooted in the religion's teachings and traditions.

Parent and Student Reviews of Catholic Schools in Europe
- Our 2 children have been at the school for almost 8 years. The caring, nurturing environment alongside rigorous academics, allowed my daughter to access a top university in UK while my son joined a boarding school in UK.Written October 20, 2024
- When my wife became seriously ill, I took my children out of prep school and enrolled them at Wendover, where they stayed for 3 years. At prep school, they had been very average academically, but their time at Wendover transformed them—they developed a real love for learning. We later moved to Spain and decided to place them in an international school, thinking it would help us integrate. They are now top of their respective years academically and still often talk about how much they miss Wendover. I can’t recommend Wendover highly enough, and my children would be happy to share their experiences with anyone who’s interested.Written October 16, 2024

- I am so excited that U-Tech is now bringing the experience of JIA to students outside of Michigan! My time at JIA was pivotal to my success later in life. The unique structure of the program allowed me the flexibility to tailor my education to fit my individual needs, which was a game-changer for me. I took advantage of my flexible schedule to enroll in college courses and collaborate with JIA/U-Tech staff to create custom curriculum that aligned with my post-high school goals.The tools and strategies I gained during my time at JIA equipped me to excel in graduate school and now in my career as a Data Scientist at Garmin. The emphasis on critical thinking and self-directed learning has proven invaluable. I cannot recommend JIA/U-Tech enough!Written September 20, 2024
- Before Istarted at Nisai I had quite a few bad experiences with teachers. A lot of it was due to my absences or not turning in homework, and often ended up with being shouted at or told off in front of the class or privately told I should drop down onto a simpler course because I wasn’t capable of doing the subject at a higher level. While my anxiety and nerves due to these experiences still hasn’t gone away completely, the teachers at Nisai, and especially your class, have slowly lessened that fear instilled by my previous teachers. It’s sort of surreal to me that I haven’t been told off or shouted at or told I wasn’t trying hard enough or smart enough even once. But instead you’ve been really encouraging and understanding and it’s really really helped me get over some of those fears—which is why I managed to start going to live lessons—and also built my confidence back up a lot.Written September 19, 2024

- We have discussed education at this school with my child, Eva, and she’s really excited to study here. Teachers are really well-educated. They’re experts in their fields. Some of the students may need some help with certain subjects, and they will do their best to help you. The headteacher always comes to lessons to make sure everything is running properly.For example, if some students can’t attend or their family circumstances make it impossible for them to attend, you can replay recordings of the lessons.
We are really thankful to LEO School for their work!Written August 13, 2024 - Excellent qualified teachers, high level of teaching, excellent approach to children, interesting lessons, my daughter enjoys going to school.Written August 13, 2024
