I would rather have gone to this school than to the one I attended in England.
We didnt have a lake for swimming, boating. However, I like English football better than the American variety. Do they have houses. I was in Drake House and we were the champions at football. Only Frobisher House came close. Our masters were men and we had no female teachers such as these boys have. Problem: Out of bed, clean teeth, choir practice..where's breakfast? Ah happy days. I would like to do it all again.
As a former teacher in two English choir-schools I can say with confidence that there is no problem with having no female teachers. Matron, cooks, etc no problem (call me a trad - or even a mysoginist if you want!). Anyway, this is a great post and I hope Adam from Poland is happy. They sing the Brahms very well indeed!
That and the comments about singing terrorists. The kids come across as very "real" and normal in the interview. No false pretences or poshness at all. But boy, can they sing (pun intended)!

It thrills me to know that there are NEW choirschools opening. This is an art that can't afford to die.
