  I cant complain about the study process, but the local stuff lied to me several times, what has led to the loss of big money. I just want to warn Еnglish speaking students! Please, dont consider reviews in Russian, as this place has horrible conditions for English speaking people. School stuff are liars and I dont want anyone to be fooled like me! 📍Guys, try to read comments in English, as only those are reliable.📍

  учителя с сертификатами и опытом, умеют найти подход к ученику, всегда помогут и не разозлятся, когда ты не понимаешь) плюс, в продолжающих уровнях ведут иностранцы,что дает возможность практиковаться и закреплять язык) цена соответствует, да и место положение удобное) и кстати, персонал ОЧЕНЬ вежливый и отзывчивый ) советую!

  Give this place a miss. They only seem to be interested in catering to students that come through one of the lucrative contracts they have with organizations abroad, such as the US Air Force, SRAS, Japanese volunteer organizations etc. If you're a self-funding, independent learner, then they'll just look to empty your pockets until you have enough and move on. They can get away with this due to an almost total lack of competition in Kyrgyzstan.
  
  It's a shame, as it used to be a great, albeit slightly shambolic, little school that attracted a diverse range of students and offered real value for money. Now it's just shambolic, and completely dishonest. There are some really talented, knowledgeable and enthusiastic young teachers that work there, but they're substantially underpaid, even for Kyrgyzstan's low standards. You'd be better off trying to find a private tutor, and then paying them directly. A post looking for homestay accommodation on one of Bishkek's listing sites, such as diesel, should get plenty of responses too. Good luck!

  I was repeated lied to by the school about everything, from the price of classes to where my accommodation would be and how much it would cost. Before I arrived I was told that I would be given room in the dorms for $300 per month, then I was told that it would be an apartment and that the apartment would cost the same. When I arrived I was put in the dorms for a month and a half at the agreed upon price. Then, with only a week's notice, I was told that I would be moved to a room in an apartment, but that the apartment would be $450 per month. When I arrived at the apartment I learned that the room I was paying $150 more per month for was a living room that did not have a door and that I was expected to sleep on a couch. I was then informed by the other students living there that the apartment had bedbugs. When the school was informed that the apartment had bedbugs, they blamed us for the bedbugs and said that we would have to pay for the exterminator, even though I had only been in the apartment for under 2 hours. The school also refused to pay for temporary accommodation for me even and expected me to pay for the nights I did not stay in the apartment because of the fumigation, despite the billing for the apartment being by the day. During this time they sent me several threatening emails demanding that I pay them for the apartment and for classes. After I this I informed them that I would be leaving the school and they continued to email me demanding payment for classes I was not taking and for the apartment in which I had never spent a single night in. My experience here was nothing short of horrific.

  They will try to take advantage of you and drain as much money from you as they can. When I set up my stay there I was told that I would have to pay $300 a month for accommodation, but when I arrived I was told it would be $450 a month and that I would not have a room, I slept on a couch in a living room which had no door. As well, I was told that I would pay $10 a day for classes but when I arrived I found out it would be $25 a day. I was not told this I simply found out when I went to the cash window to pay. I was told by others that this is pretty standard, so whatever they tell you that you are going to pay, assume that it will be doubled when you arrive. As well, I had my accommodation moved several times so that American SRAS students could be accommodated as well as having my teachers switched, so if you aren't a SRAS student expect to be treated pretty poorly. Also, when anything changes you will be given very little notice so that you don't have time to make your own arrangements for accommodation. I was told I had to leave one place on 2 days notice, and another on 4 days notice. The will also demand that you pay everything upfront, before you see where you will be staying. This place made my life hell for the entire time I was there.
