We went school shopping for Tatiana
Cranleigh is one we might send her to
beautiful building
the chapel where there is worship every week
the gym
the study hall
the science room with our tour guide
where the girls sleep
the design studio
the art department
the fashion design department, you can see Tatiana was very excited
a recording studio in the music building
the lunch room
the cafe
there are two theatres this is the small one
the other theatre which is also used for exams
where the boys live
the stables
my father would have loved this school!
the theatre
the local town
for those of us who think there is never a blue sky in England
What we came away with...
Cranleigh is amazing no doubt about that. We didnt like the head master so much but he is retiring and we hear the next guy is fantastic. They have a hockey team that EVERYONE is expected to be a part of. The school sees this as a way to get to know each other. You compete against other schools it doesnt matter if you dont know how to play. Its all about teamwork. Tatiana didnt like this idea.
I thought all the boys were total gentlemen, I didnt see any couples (its not really allowed) Girls were doing their thing and boys theirs. There is a school swim team and the pool is right by the girls dorm.
The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly.
There are speakers that come to the girls dorm. Lots of activities and charities.
Girls are assigned a big sister to help in the new year. lots of trips available. Its really endless what you can do here. Their motto is "a busy child is a healty child" and they do keep them busy.
This is going to be a tough decision.
Weekends: most girls go home. Tatiana is welcome to go with a friend or activites are provided.
In the dorm she would share a room
