What we are still checking
Open questions we could not settle from the school's own published pages. We have not yet put these questions to the schools. When we do, the answers will appear here with the date we asked.
- Student count: 520 (school) vs 506 (AEFE)
- What PARLE stands for — the acronym is never expanded on the site
