What families say about life at Guiding Steps.

"As parents, we are extremely pleased with the positive impact the school has had on our children’s growth and development. The individual attention given by teachers ensures that every child is supported according to their needs, helping them progress steadily in their academic journey.

The Pearson Edexcel curriculum provides a structured and engaging learning experience that has contributed to outstanding achievements, including “iPrimary Higher Achievers’ Awards” for both Sandith (2023) and Anuki (2025), with Anuki also securing 1st place in Asia for GCE. Beyond academics, the school has helped build confidence, leadership, and independence through daily sports activities (Karate, Basketball, Swimming), and many other co-curricular activities such as Sports Meets, STEM/Social projects. Most importantly, our children have become genuinely happy, enthusiastic learners who never want to miss a single day of school.

We greatly appreciate the prompt and consistent communication from the school, which keeps parents well informed and makes it easier to support our children while balancing our professional commitments.

"Guiding Steps College" is a great name with a trust which we refreshed it nearly after 17 years   having our youngest son 4 years back. We were looking for a quality place with safety for his pre schooling and immediately the first name came in to our mind was Guiding Steps. We had the great experience by sending our 02 daughters (They are 20+ & 19+ now) but did not know whether it had the same standard after about 17years. However, we contacted the Directress Mrs. Mohara Jacobs over the phone and she was still remembering us and very pleased to meet our son.

After 01 year in the play group, we experienced that it was a better standard which has been enhanced keeping the same quality when compared to the previous. This was what we wanted exactly. The Directress was overlooking the entire responsibility with her great academic experience received locally and internationally. She wanted to uplift Children's education with quality and not only the classroom experience but also outside environment activities, sports, etc. My son participated in the last year school's sports meet which he gained a lot of experience. He loves the school, the Directress and teachers who care and attend to all children dearly. He loves to go Guiding Steps daily and happily.

We are wishing Guiding Steps College good luck with great progress in all aspects and we have no doubts to recommend the College to my best friends and everyone."
