Why to choose President’s College

Jul 06, 2008 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Once every year, parents and guardians are placed in the dilemma of finding the best school for their children.

Every parent wants the best for their children. So, parents, why not consider President’s College?
President’s College was the brainchild of the late President of Guyana, Mr. L.F.S. Burnham. President’s College was established to educate the youth of Guyana and to transform their minds and behaviour patterns into an intellectual and extraordinary device.

Students who attend President’s College are educated in a wide variety, which could not be if they attended another school. They are trained to be well rounded individuals, not only academically, but psychologically and socially.

The students at President’s College are required to live at the Institution, which I must say is an advantage to the students, the parents and the teachers.

The students benefit from being able to live amongst fellow colleagues, thus they develop a sense of responsibility and the interaction helps to develop their inter-person communication skills.

They are also not affected by the stress due to traveling to and from school every day. They also benefit from an excellent school’s curriculum, which is skillfully designed in such a way that the students do not need extra classes.

The school day at President’s College begins at 9:00hrs and finishes at 16:00hrs from Monday to Thursday, but on Fridays it finishes 14:15hrs, to facilitate students traveling home, if they desire. The students could stay in for the weekend.

The students will also benefit from the extended study period which is scheduled Monday through Thursday, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. There are also dedicated teachers, who not only teach, but ensure that the students understand. The students also have access to the school’s library and the internet to do research.

Now, you parents can benefit too! You are not burdened with the need to acquire moneys for transportation or meals, since your child lives at the school, in a safe dormitory, protected by the campus security guards and the house-parents. The school will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for the students as well.

All this is available to you child for only $1,000 per term, that is $3000 per year or $15,000 for your child’s entire secondary school life, or $18,000 if your child pursues the lower sixth programme or $21,000 if your child pursues the Upper Sixth Form Programme.

Compare this to the amount that you would have had to spend if you had chosen to send your child to another institution.

You might also be concerned about what happens if your child is ill? Well, rest assure that they will be in good hands, since the campus nurse is there to address any such illness.

Besides, school fees, if you desire, you can also give your child pocket money and snacks if they desire anything between the meals time, or for whatever may come up.

Also, there is the School’s Accounts Department, where the students can save money in their personal account.

I now refer to an article in the SN, where the parent of one of the top students in this year’s Grade Six examination stated that she would have to send her child to a school nearby, since she was not financially fit to send the child elsewhere.

President’s College will be the ideal school for this child.
You can be assured that you child will be getting the best school experience in the Caribbean.

Teachers will benefit also, by having some of the most brilliant minds in their classroom. No teacher knows everything, so they as well as the students will learn from each other, thus there is a win, win situation.

The teachers would not have to deal with the unnecessary interruptions due to the late arrival of students to the class, since the students live on campus.

The benefits that President’s college, The School or Excellence, have to offer out weighs those of any other school in Guyana, by a great margin.

Our founder, Mr. L.F.S. Burnham, attended Queen’s College, yes; therefore he noticed what the school lacked and he made President’s College to be everything QC is and much more.

So parents, President’s College has so many benefits that are too numerous to mention, therefore send your child/children and let them experience the touch of excellence. Students, see you September. At President’s College, we can, we must, we will!
Shane Pearce,
Past Student
