Hi all
I am one of the customers of Top School and I understand that the concerns of you all. But I have to say something for the team at Top School as I do not find the comments fair.
1) I don't think their pricing structure is unreasonable and I have to say, their pricing is fair. Because of the Head Girl and her team, we did not have to crazily apply almost all the schools and kindergartens for our little one. That have already saved us a lot of money. As a customer, my husband and I are very particular and we did request how we would like the stage 1 fact finding report to be structured. The Head Girl was happy to tailor for us.
2) I do not think that their services are just for expats. I am a working mom. Grew up in HK and went abroad to study and work for many years. Came back three years ago. To be honest, there are so many changes in the education system in the last decades in HK and there are so many systems and curriculums offered by different schools in the city. Yes I could have done the homework myself. And we did a bit but it was indeed not enough. Without Ruth's help, I would not be able to narrow down the choices of schools for my little one.
3) We paid $8,800 for a first stage report. It is like a fact finding exercise but it saved us from applying a few schools that would have cost us more than $8,800. They don't take money for placement. what they could offer is to review application (which they did for one of my applications) and assist in preparing the assessment and interviews.
4) if not with Top School, my little one won't be at a playgroup and likely to be his kindergarten and pre nursery that fits so well for him. The Head Girl also facilitated us to see if we could change our assessment session with one of the through trained international school which normally it is difficult for parents to request so.
5) without their help, we also couldn't be realistic on the choice of the schools list. There are schools on her suggested list that we thought we would have no chance at all but it is not necessary the case and also vice versa.
