The International School Was Good. It Just Was Not Right for Me.

N.M. was not struggling at her international school in Phuket. By most measures, she was doing fine.

But fine is not the same as flourishing.

"I used to attend an international school in Phuket, which was a perfectly good school — but it simply was not the right fit for me."

Her mum discovered All Gifted School. N.M. was sceptical. An online school? She did not know what to expect.

She gave it a chance anyway.

"Looking back, joining AGS is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The teaching style and the way assignments are structured suit me perfectly. There is genuine learning without the suffocating stress that comes with a traditional school environment."

The weekly 1-1 Zoom sessions with her mentor became something she genuinely looked forward to.

"My weekly Zoom session with my mentor is something I genuinely look forward to — it feels relaxed and even fun. Mr. Paul is like a grandfather figure: kind, patient, and incredibly easy to open up to."

AGS also gave her something conventional school rarely allows: time.

"AGS has also given me the gift of time. I have space to pursue my own gigs and personal projects outside of school, which matters a lot to me."

When it came to applying for university, she had support that went beyond curriculum.

"I also want to give a special shout-out to Mr. Kang, who helped me sharpen my personal statement to a fine edge and offered invaluable guidance on university course selection. I could not have navigated that process as confidently without him."

For N.M., All Gifted School was not a compromise. It was the right fit — the thing the international school, despite its quality, could never be.
