A Testimonial for My Daugther School - the ICQM

I am grateful that my daughter, Carol has been studying at the International Christian Quality Music Secondary and Primary School for the past five years. I can see the difference that the school education has made on her.

Carol is tall and strong physically. But when it came to her intellectual and character development, I was really worried for her. It has been a great challenge to my family because Carol used to be a very strong-will child. There was always tension between us – mother and daughter. I could hardly make her work on anything that she did not like or did not feel comfortable with.

The tension has been easing since Carol joined the ICQM. She becomes more aware of her weaknesses and strengths. She is more willing to accept God’s love and guidance. These help her change and face her challenge more bravely. I can now see her become happier and cleverer in problem solving. I reckon it is because she has been surrounded by supportive teachers and good classmates.

Her teachers are patient, caring, and professional. I am especially impressed by her class teacher, Miss Kwok who shows her love, wisdom, and determination to help students blossom in their ways and time. She has always been supportive to their emotional needs, and constantly finds ways to help them grow intellectually and spiritually. Most importantly, she can easily discover the uniqueness of her individual students, e.g. Carol's strength and weakness, and respond to them accordingly.

I also appreciate the mental space created by the school teachers - not demanding too much from Carol when she was not ready. This helps Carol shift her negative feeling on studies to a positive mode of leisure reading and learning. This, in turn has built her confidence in learning and developed her habit in reading and self learning. In fact, the habit of reading and self-learning helps her blossom when it comes to her time - to finish the final year of her primary school study.

Apart from positive impact from the good teachers, I think Carol’s classmates have also helped her enjoy her school life and her studies. Being a mother, I really want to see Carol live a happy, healthy, and meaningful life. I also think it is important for her to have a strong faith in God and receive God’s love and respond to God's grace accordingly. I am now confident to say that her school is laying a good groundwork developing both her intelligence and character.

Thank you God, and thank you ICQM!
