Steven
My parents sent me to drama school when I was eight.
It is the biggest drama school in the country. The school day begins at eight o'clock. We do
dance, music, theatre or project work in the morning. After lunch, we change into our school
uniform and have normal school lessons until 4.30 pm. Sometimes at the weekend we put on
shows or have sports competitions with other schools. I love it!
Martin
My parents started teaching me at home when we moved to the countryside because my old
school was too far away.
I wake up at eight o'clock and begin classes an hour later. In the momings, my mum teaches me
Maths and Science. In the afternoon, I do sports or Art with my dad. My weekends are free. I
like home schooling because I can sometimes choose my own projects and I can wear what I
like.
Thomas
I live in my school and I go home to see my parents in the holidays. They live in France, so
sometimes I miss them
We wake up early- at 6.45 am, have breakfast and start the first lesson at 8.40 am. There are six
lessons every weekday. We also have two lessons on Saturday morning. There is no uniform, but
we have to wear smart clothes,
I am not great at studying, but I win a lot of prizes for football and tennis.
