Testimonial
“The ENIL is a school with character, first of all because of its buildings: on site, modern and ancient rub shoulders. Then there are the teachers who really communicate their passion for this profession. Everything is organised to maximise the successes of the students during the exams and to overcome any problems which they may encounter. This is the alchemy which gives the school its warmth. When I came to one of the Open Doors days during the winter of 2015, I really appreciated the work by the students and the attention given to my questions. In barely half a day, I had the time to see as many as possible of the teaching workshops as well as the visitors’ gallery which runs over the production workshops in the Technology Hall and allowed us to see the students at work on products. This possibility of watching them at work allowed me to really imagine myself doing that in the near future. Now I am doing it, and I like it!”
