The school, located in central Manhattan, is one of Embassy's most popular, particularly with students keen to experience and explore all of the exciting attractions that New York City has to offer.

Now decorated in energising orange, the centre has been furnished with newly laid wooden floors and carpets throughout and also with new furniture in all study lounges and classrooms.

Students and staff have commented on the "stylish" and "cool" design and how the new glass wall panels give the classrooms such a light and spacious feel.

The school also benefits from the latest teaching innovations such as interactive whiteboards in all of the classrooms (which allow for greater interactivity between teachers and students) as well as a newly resourced computer centre.

Agnieszka's Awesome Waffles

Staff and students ate their way through more than fifty waffles in an hour today - that's a local record, for this building anyway!

Agnieszka Kaleka, a gifted chef, made delicious waffles from her own secret recipe and sold them at lunchtime in the common room at the Embassy Oxford school centre. Favourite toppings were maple syrup, icing sugar, strawberry jam, chocolate spread and whipped cream. Over £30 was raised for the Building Futures charity.

Easter Beach Barbeque at Embassy Gold Coast

Over 150 students at Embassy Gold Coast celebrated the beginning of their Easter break with a beach barbeque (or BBQ as it is sometimes known).

The weather was gorgeous, the food delicious and the company even better! The students enjoyed a mouth-watering BBQ cooked for them by their teachers with the menu including Aussie steak, Indian spiced chicken, homemade salads and of course many many Easter eggs.

No one was left hungry! With all this food, exercise was needed with different nationalities teaching us new and exciting games, which culminated in a fast and furious international soccer game.
