As progressive as our world can be, it is not surprising that most people look for the highest quality standards right now. Be it in products we use, work, or even school.
That said, it is no surprise that parents nowadays want the best for their children. Most would want to admit their children to a school that provides and enhances their spiritual growth and caters to academic excellence.
According to Kiiky, 85% of a child's personality is learned from their school and teachers. Because of this, parents are cautious of where they put their children to learn as one would want to be at peace that they put their children in the right place to learn.
