FIVE SIMPLE REASONS
Trusted Management Team
Stalford Academy inherited its management team from Stalford Learning Centre which has longstanding experience in the local education industry. Stalford Learning Centre has stood in the management’s good stead for nearly 17 years, during which the Centre has steered towards tremendous growth to a current chain of more than 15 centres all around Singapore. This same group of experienced management team helming the Academy would be a positive force to the Academy and likely propel it to success.
Committed Academic Team
The success of students is often said to be very much dependent on their teachers. At Stalford Academy, a faculty of teaching staff committed to the Academy’s pedagogy has been engaged to impart academic knowledge and other related skills to our students. The faculty comprises experienced former school teachers, former JC lecturers and local textbook and assessment book authors, with an optimal average teacher to student ratio of less than 1:25 (1:40 for ‘O’ Level and ‘A’ Level courses) which serves to provide our students with the required undivided attention for optimization of their learning experiences.
