I want to share my impressions about the Saturday school day at London Gates, which my 6-year-old daughter attends. She looks forward to every school day. Saturdays are very intense: 5 fascinating lessons. This is an ideal format for this age, as it keeps the children's attention and allows them to study actively without fatigue.
I am especially pleased that my daughter starts dialogues in English at home, and also asks me to talk to her in English. This shows how well she learns the material and how much she enjoys learning the language. The teachers are attentive, create a friendly atmosphere in which children feel comfortable and are not afraid to make mistakes.
With each lesson, my daughter is becoming more confident in English, and I can see her progress.
I am very pleased that we chose this school, and I can confidently recommend it to other parents!
We go to classes on Saturdays and what is significant for me is that a preschool child is afraid to miss classes, walks with pleasure and remembers homework himself - it is difficult for me to imagine myself in this way as a child)
If everything works the same in the main school, then this is a very cool place
A supportive community of parents and teachers, wonderful teachers, full confidence in the administration, prices are quite competitive. We've been walking for a year - we didn't regret the choice for a second!
I came to them for an interview with 2 children: 6 and 8 years old. The children went to talk to the teachers, and the director spoke to me - she talked thoroughly and for a long time about the approach, about the subjects - I was impressed. Then the children returned, so happy, as if they had been fed gingerbread there, and not spoken to them in English) In general, everything is very positive at the interview stage, let's go to study with them. We'll see how things really go in September.

I am familiar with the Moscow project: we took my nephew there, who did not get lost at all this summer on vacation and calmly communicated in English: with English-speaking children, and in the gelateria with an ice cream seller, and with us in the company (sang songs in English with a guitar, showed us scientific experiments that they put in the classroom).
It's great that with the help of immersion in an English-speaking environment once a week, a child can overcome the language barrier and start using the language in life quite calmly. Good luck with the launch in Belgrade!
Money is not available. The incompetence of teachers and their poor communication skills with children. They were engaged in their own PR, instead of creating a friendly and supportive environment.
