| Reviews | | By Parent - 14 Nov 2013, Rate: excellent | I have two children at John Colet and I can confidently say that it is an outstanding school. The teachers have nurtured and enhanced my children?s inner confidence and love of learning. In fact my eldest son, who was previously struggling academically and socially at another school, has gone from being told he was not a natural student to now, after years of being at John Colet, being accepted into a highly academic selective school. This is something I 100% credit John Colet for. The teachers and community have transformed him and brought out his best potential. My other son is also benefiting from John Colet?s fantastic education system and the nurturing environment... so I can see it is consistent for various personalities and capabilities.
I should note that John Colet take a very different approach to most schools and it clearly shows in the students results and social confidence. I will always hold the school in high regard and will be forever appreciative for their care and attention to my children.
| | | By Parent - 13 Nov 2013, Rate: excellent | My husband and I had been searching for a school for six months, when we were recomended by a work friend to John Colet we made an immediate appointment and on the day that we toured the school, we were amazed and that this is the school for our child.
Unlike any other school I have heard of, John Colet is truly a nurturing and caring environment that allows expression and knowledge to flourish at an outstanding level. My eldest son was immediately detected to have dyslexia, even though I hadn't noticed. The school discovering this adversity provided extra assistance and tolerance toward him and resulted in my son now outshining others and getting awards in English Advanced (John Colet had given him the chance and determination to develop his linguistics and give him the tools to later in high school do English advanced). To say the least I was amazed at the dedication of the John Colet School teachers and their motivation. Furthermore my other child although not having such difficulties is enjoying the school and its many benefits.
In my opinion we are extremely satisfied with this school for it detects the weaknesses of the students and turns them into their strengths. When you read the brochure the school provides it may seem overwhelming or far fetched or too good to be true but I must say I was never disappointed due to the booklet only being a glimpse of the schools grand potential for your child. | | | By Parent - 19 Sep 2013, Rate: excellent | | My husband and I were recommended this school by friends, and while I was primarily hesitant at first -I am more then thrilled with our choice to enroll our son. The school offers the small, attentive classrooms with a firm philosophy of developing a love of learning along with plenty of extracurricular activities that my son enjoys!! We are Aussies that came from living abroad in Singapore, so were very excited to find a local school that has such a focus on personal development along with a solid education that is similar to what we were accustomed in Singapore. Parents are encouraged to be very involved, and I can see the progress my son (plus see how warmly the kids respond to their dedicated teachers!) is making when I occasionally come to help with reading/writing sessions. Talk to a family of John Colet before you make your decision-am sure you will be convinced like us that it is a positive choice for your child! | | | >>More reviews... | |
