“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel” said Socrates and he would have repeated had he been invited to the opening of a new school year at Paradis. I think that’s what it’s all about: openings. About a successful start that every child should have the chance to get and I can say with certainty that, at Paradis, students have this chance. As parents, we confidently embraced a new “system” and the PEOPLE building the “system” embraced our son with care, attention and love. This is what I constantly felt, in addition to professionalism, during the 9 years of school at Paradis.
