Parent Voices

What our iPrimary families say

❝

My daughter is a student of Guiding Steps College since 2021.From that day onward she is showing a steady improvement in studies and actively participating in classroom activities. She has become more confident and is putting more effort on studies. The school is providing a good, balanced education. The teachers are caring, supportive and highly attentive towards the kids. I really appreciate the concept of maintaining day-to-day study information via digital platform. It helps my child remember her tasks, complete work on time and improve on her responsibility. As parents we do not wait for my child to come home to check home work as it all highlighted on the platform. o, I would like to invite the parents to choose Guiding Steps College who are willing to give an updated education for their kids.

My daughter has shown positive attitude throughout the school year and attends school with interest. As a parent who is new to the Pearson Edexcel curriculum, I'm so happy to see how she's confidently learning new things which I feared she would find difficult. All praise goes to the dedicated teachers and heads of the school for their support as always. Discipline and encouraging the sense of responsibility is another important point I was looking for in a school for my daughter and I found it at Guiding Steps College.
