School Choice Number 1 is Veritas, an international school owned and run by Americans with a Scandinavian aproach to education (learning should be hands on and about discovery and building self confidence), with a British curriculum.  The campus has access directly down the street from a large and very good sports club (Pescariu) and a large closed park for playground purposes.
