Read the reviews about two unusual schools. Which school used to be single-sex? At what age can you attend these schools?
BRIT School, London
If you study hard and have a passion for performing arts, you won't be able to resist the BRIT school.
BRIT School students can take special classes in technology and performing arts like dance, singing, music and drama. However, they also do ordinary subjects, such as English, maths, science and foreign languages. After they graduate, many students will be able to have very successful careers as singers or actors.
Young people can join the school from the age of fourteen. Its unusual curriculum means students do exams and take part in performances and exhibitions. The timetable is challenging: they have to practise at break time and after school, but they can't forget to do their homework on time!
RIVER PLATE SCHOOL
Buenos Aires, Argentina
This is definitely a school with a difference. The school is located in the stadium of one of South America's most important football teams.
River Plate is unique because it's the only sports institution in the world that's got its own kindergarten- with students as young as five years old - school, college and university. If you get good marks at the school, you can get into college or university at the same location. Students can watch football matches and see famous players practise.
The school started in 1928 for young football players, but in those days, girls couldn't attend the classes. People believed that girls couldn't play football as well as boys. Now the school and its ideas have changed and everyone has the chance to be part of this historic institution.
