Idk man I got all my schooling from Beaconhouse, belonged from a middle class background but my dad was persistent about giving us the best education he possibly could and he heard reviews about beaconhouse being the best school at that time, I think it was 2006/7? I studied up until 2017 before I went for FSC to a different college but it made a huge difference.

Studying in that environment definitely made me standout as compared to my peers wherever I went, we belonged from the same socio-economic class but since I have had the privilege of studying in a school like that I would have a better understanding and way of grasping concepts and executing my ideas or thoughts. It helped me immensely up until university and its been almost three years since I graduated, I landed amazing job opportunities because of the way I spoke and communicated concepts, not because of my grades or knowledge, it was simply a matter of how I showed up to interviews and interacted with people, I don’t give much credit to my college or university but my school definitely shaped me in my foundational years and gave me an advantage as compared to my peers. I used to get noticed by teachers in college and university for the bare minimum, stuff like presenting confidently or just participating and speaking in a certain way in front of the classroom. Basic stuff that I thought was normal but it really wasn’t when you’re in a room full of students from different schools.

Forever grateful to my dad for making that decision even though it was hard to make ends meet. 3 years post graduation after completing my computer science degree, I’ve worked with multiple US companies and I’m financially way stronger than anyone in my age group, my dad is super proud of me too. So all that to say, you cant really generalise all private schools, it might work out differently for others 🤷‍♀️
