Activa Indicator

This indicator has been created in order to allow you to choose the school that perfectly meets your personal criteria.
Activa, thus, selects schools, making it a priority to choose the schools that ensure the best education.
Personal needs are also taken into account and include your personality and tastes. Certain people will benefit from a cultural city environment, others from a more natural environment, and others from the quality of housing provided …Every personal interest is taken into account.

Activa's indicator is based on 6 criterias

Quality of the environment:
Here, great importance is placed on evaluating the quality and the diversity of elements which make up the school environment: neighbourhood, proximity to restaurants, cafés, shops, etc. We also take equally into account the location: a school with a view of the beach will be given a better grade than one which offers no panoramic view, etc…

Diversity and quality of the school’s services and equipment
Each school has a variety of things to offer and this evaluation takes into account a student’s accessibility to services and equipment for the whole year. For example: cafeteria, library, media room, student lounges, vending machines, WIFI access… Certain schools are also exam centers which allow you to register and take the exam in same location as the prep courses (for example the TOEIC).

Distance of housing to and from the school
The evaluation ranks housing establishments by distance to the school. The highest grade corresponds to the most covenant and accessible housing option to the school (ex. 5 minutes by foot from the school to your living accommodations to 15 minutes from the school.)
