Studying in MDIS College Singapore-Cambridge has been a great experience for me and my friends. The Preparatory Course for Singapore-Cambridge GCE (O level) Examination (10 months) has been a memorable learning journey that we will cherish. Teachers, friends and the College staff helped me a lot along the way.
The teachers and College staff are helpful, friendly and always very encouraging. From the Mathematics teacher who always give us stationeries when we do well for his assignments and tests to the Science teacher who always come up with interesting ways to make connection between Science, Mathematics and the world around us, to the College staff who always ask us to “Go for it”, MDIS College has certainly helped us tremendously in preparing for our GCE 'O' level.
Friends have also made this learning experience a memorable one. I've made very good friends in school who update me on what I've missed in class. Making friends in MDIS College was a whole new experience. You get to meet people from all walks of life at one common place with one common goal and that is to succeed in life.
I'm glad that I joined MDIS College because it is a stepping stone for my future endeavours. Thank you MDIS College for your help and support.

I can still vividly recall my first day in MDIS College. The mentors were very approachable and I was well received. The subsequent months have been nothing short of memorable. The teachers attended to me whenever I needed their attention and willingly helped me tackle the questions. Reliability was ubiquitous. Most importantly, they motivated all students to excel in their studies.
Apart from the conducive environment, the school is filled with cleanliness and warmth. I love how the teachers treated us equally despite the differences in each individual. To make lessons refreshing, different methods of work done would be implemented to engage everyone and that allowed us to choose our preferences. Regular assignments had never failed to be handed out just to ensure our flare for writing and thinking. At first, I found the questions toilsome but in time, as assignments became a regular basis, it helped me overcome the toughest questions and that boosted my confidence for the upcoming GCE 'O' Levels Examinations.
The support and encouragement was not only provided by the staff and teachers, but also from my classmates who voluntarily shared their knowledge. Friendships were nurtured thanks to the orientation and that gave me many opportunities to interact with new people. In class, discussions and views were shared as a whole which also furthered communication between students.
During our breaks, the cafeteria was an ideal place for relaxation together with the affordable prices on the menu. The library was also a boon as I could easily photocopy notes given by my lecturers and bask in the comfortable environment for revision.
MDIS College has undoubtedly equipped me with the education I needed. The mentors, staff and teachers are ever so zealous in their work. I have definitely made the right choice by choosing this school. Thank you MDIS College Singapore-Cambridge!

Life at MDIS College was blissful. With the mentors and teachers
encouraging you all the way, it feels like there's nothing you can't
achieve. Without them, I won't be who I am today. Everyone played a part
in changing my life - from a juvenile delinquent with no future, to one
who put studies before play. Joining MDIS College became my turning
point, my mentor taught me to aim for the sky, because even if I fall,
I'll still land among the stars. Thank you Miss Tia. You changed my
life.

When I first entered the school, I admit I was quite taken aback as it differed much from my other schools. However, with the help of responsible and keen teachers, I quickly adapted. MDIS College Singapore-Cambridge had revealed to me much of what the real world is really like; which enabled me to be better geared for the future. It made me realise that it is not an ideal world and that we are the ones that have control over our future.

I was determined to complete my Preparatory Course for Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'O' level this time round, and being a person who needs that extra push and a disciplined environment, I chose MDIS College. Being out of the education system for such a long time, I was afraid that there were many differences in the syllabus which I would not be able to grasp within a 10-months duration. However, the small class size made learning more focused as better attention was given to individual students. Lessons were made easy to understand and taught in many interesting ways that first-timers could cope with.
Teachers and staff of MDIS College alike were helpful and approachable. They treated us as genuine friends. Even as I await my results, I still think of those friends I made along my journey and wonder how they are doing. I am not too worried about the grades as I know that I have done my best, and these people have helped make sure of that.
It was a pleasant and varied experience at MDIS College, and I recommend it to everyone who has the desire and drive to advance in life. MDIS College is a place that helps people grow, and get the results they desire.
(We would like to congratulate Poh Kim for being our top student for Preparatory Course for GCE 'O' Level 2008.)

When I first stepped into MDIS College, I thought it would be an elite kind of school where only the rich and influential send their children to. Little did I expect it to be a place where people from all walks of life enroled for a second chance in education.
MDIS College's staff was always there to help. We could always approach them to clarify any doubts and they would gladly assist. One could say that they pampered and treated us like their own children.
The teachers were fantastic as well, constantly motivating us. I will always remember the pep talk by our Physics teacher who said, “Forget about last year, and concentrate on this year. Do it well, do it once, move on to better stuff.”
We could always ask questions freely during and after lessons, and they would be more than happy to guide us towards the solutions. As the examinations approached, they also gave us extra lessons to ensure that we were sufficiently prepared.
MDIS College students are typical students, just like any you would find in a secondary school. There is good camaraderie amongst us even though we had only been classmates for less than a year. Our common goal to do well in the O Levels united us. Everyone interacted well with each other and it was like one big happy family. I made some truly good friends in my 10-months stint with MDIS College.
MDIS College is indeed a wonderful place to get an education. It was a choice I did not regret making.

Studying in MDIS College was a memorable experience, starting from the very first day during orientation. That was the day I found out I was the youngest in the cohort. Nevertheless, I met students who shared the same interests and fostered many close friendships along the way.
My learning journey at MDIS College was definitely enhanced by the teachers. They were more patient and dedicated than those that I have encountered before, and their explanations were clearer. They helped me gain confidence and made the classroom a fun place to be in.
The campus also has great facilities to support its activities. Being in the school soccer team, I had a chance to improve my skills and meet students from other MDIS courses such as Mass Communications and Business Management. Before training, we would do our warm-up in the gymnasium.
The library, known as the Resource Hub, had study areas that were spacious yet cozy, providing an ideal place where I could revise my studies and have quiet discussions with my classmates. The cafeteria was also one of my favourite study areas as we could snack and study at the same time.
At the 'O' Levels, I ended up scoring 15 points for my aggregate, along with distinctions in Mathematics and Science. My results have reinforced my belief that I have made the right decision to do my 'O' Levels as a private candidate with MDIS College. Overall, it was a memorable, exciting and fun learning experience for me.
