We are a German alumni family and watched Kigala grow over the years. The staff is amazing, the language program is phenomenal, the outdoor classroom magical, and the long-term projects are so important for the brain development of young children. It is a wonderful place for students and families, with a strong sense of community. The Kigala educational concept and the community aspect are a gift for life!

Very disappointed by this school who promised great things but delivered very little and seemed much more interested in money that the children.
I cannot speak for the German teachers but the Spanish ones did not hold to the great promise they held. One of them seemed very unhappy to be there and our son's teacher managed to made treats of needing to call child services for finding a diaper rash still there after a couple of days. ( let's forget the fact they were unable to potty train him) and later joked that his diagnosed medical condition was really self induced.
