Studying Abroad

Hi People!

According to an article recently published by ISTOÉ magazine (Feb 16th/2011), the best time to study abroad is now. You can take a regular High School course or even your University Graduation abroad. One thing that is very interesting is that they mention the importance and necessity of having the TOEFL® Test to take these courses. For example, for a regular graduation couse in the USA, one of the prerequisites is having the TOEFL® Test with a good score.
So, CONGRATULATIONS to our students who took the test and for those who are taking the preparation course.
