Visiting EIFA School and Halcyon- what should I ask?

Following advice from another thread, I contacted some international schools and the head of EIFA is meeting me to show me round and also have an appointment for Halcyon
There won't be any children at EIFA so any ideas for questions to gauge the ethos, feel etc? I would welcome any input from MNers with direct experience of either

I have a son at EIFA International School and couldn't recommend it enough. Even without the children there you will receive a warm welcome from the Head. There is a real buzz about the place and the level of attention from staff there is excellent. I was unsure about the bilingual experience at first, worried my son would struggle, but the way the teaching is delivered just works. I am currently trying to brush up on my own French to keep up! Class sizes are small which means the children receive individual attention. The ethos is very inclusive. EIFA don't just look at academic excellence like many Schools and that was important to me. They put the child first. Even during this current period of closure they maintained an excellent remote teaching provision. My son can't wait to get back in the new academic year!

Thank you @Eve42.
It was strange looking round an empty school but the Head was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I loved the international feel and the small class sizes.
