I went to school in the US and in Spain. My learning felt stagnant in the US, but my social life was fun.

I lived in Madrid from age 6 to age 14.
I went to an international school that had a total of 300 students.
After moving back to the US for high school, I felt like my classes were a joke.

My family lived in Spain from the time I was 6 years old until I was 14. My brothers and I went to an international school in Madrid that followed a British curriculum. The K-12 school had a total of 300 students, which meant my entire grade comprised 22 people.
