Boarding school, especially for these youngsters (aged eight to 12) has rarely looked more appealing.

File this charming documentary alongside Être et Avoir in the list of films that make the case that teachers are the closest thing we have to superheroes in everyday life.

There are some lovely observations from the directors Neasa Ni Chianáin and David Rane, especially the scenes of music lessons.

School Life is a reminder of how important the role of teacher is in the formative years of one's lives. It is an entertaining and charming story that can be enjoyed alone, with friends and family as well.
