We score schools the same way as in Germany, on nine criteria and 100 points: years teaching, beginner offer, events, Google rating, number of reviews and social media (75 points in total), plus festivals, recent reviews and competitions (25 points, currently "to be confirmed"). Data comes from school websites, Google Maps and Instagram. Anything we cannot confirm counts at the lowest value, and a school can fill it in by applying.
The ranking is based only on public data. Places cannot be bought, and any paid listings are marked as ads and do not affect the points. We collect school data ourselves from Google Maps and school websites, so it may contain mistakes: enter a school or send us a correction.
