Rencontre sur l'enseignement privé (French only)
The Institution that we are lucky enough to be attached to, the Royal Military College St. Jean, is more or less a “private school”.

And I was not disappointed; I perceived more than one resemblance between our College and the whole system of Private schooling. I hope you enjoy reading.
