Life is relatively easy and thoroughly enjoyable in Bratislava and is the capital of Slovakia. It has a vibrant culture and is an extremely safe place for foreigners and their families. Bratislava has a very pleasant centre with many beautiful buildings and places of historic interest as well as excellent shops and restaurants. Countryside walks are a great attraction. It is also a cycling and hiking paradise with much flat land, but also challenging hills and woodland trails for the more adventurous. There are many social opportunities both within the expatriate and local communities, and the school itself has a thriving social scene.

The basic requirements for day-to-day living are very affordable. Food is inexpensive, as is eating out. There are many opportunities for travel within Slovakia itself, with accommodation being relatively inexpensive and an extensive and cheap public transport system within the country. The city also offers easy access to Vienna (1 hour), Budapest (2 hours) and Prague (4 hours).
