Nothing but a horrible experience in Nazareth. If you are middle class you kids will be tormented for not having the new in products and the teachers and principal doesn't care.

They do very very well with emotional support but the actual education is not good. I got bullied for almost 3 years and the school was notified and didn't do anything about it
