I don't name and shame a lot. I make it a mission not to be mean to people or organizations because I believe there's always another side to the same story. I should consider all sides before going to the extreme.
But this time, I am going to do it because the organization is one of the most despicable one as far as education center is concerned.
My kids have been going to Grace Resource Center, now Grace Academy (as they would like to be called), formerly known as Grace Homeschooling Center, since they were little ones.
After pulling them out from a private school called Sri Inai Beaconhouse because of the escalating cost and my lack of belief in the public education system (which they were studying for), I enrolled them in Grace Resource Center for, first, their Christian-based education program. I didn't mind despite the fact that I am not a Christian because they teach good values and helps my kids be better people on top of learning what they need to learn educationally.
It's been close to 8 years they've been in this 'school'. But in recent years, they've changed. I suppose it's due to the change in management and ownership. It's all about the money now.
For the second time, my son has been told to bugger off and that they won't register him for his final IGCSE exam. It's not the first time, as I've said, they shown this lack of compassion and willingness to negotiate.
Their my way or the high way attitude has turned a lot of people off and as far as I can see, the number of students in their IGCSE program has dropped quite dramatically. Before anyone says anything, I know money talks and that without it, there's no talk. That's the way of the world and I am highly aware of that. But their handling of it is much lacking.
Like I said, there's always two faces to a coin.
I don't believe I am the victim because it's true that I have problems paying up the fees. But I am making effort to pay whatever is due to them to ensure my kids get to sit for the exam. But I believe there's always another way and I am looking for it.
Before you say anything, I know it's learning organization and that it has to make money. Everyone has to do that and I understand.
I don't want to defame Grace Resource Center or Grace Academy but I just want to warn parents about who are looking around for IGCSE tuition centers or homeschooling centers. My advice is don't go for Grace Academy. You're better off with the countless other IGCSE learning centers that are to be found all around PJ and KL even if you can't afford to send your kids to an international school.
There are always options out there and I just don't think Grace Resource Center is the right one to invest in.
That's just my opinion and I am entitled to that.
