I can’t in good conscience recommend this school to anyone who genuinely cares about education, student wellbeing, or basic professionalism. My experience here was not just disappointing,it was exhausting, disheartening, and at times, borderline negligent.
The administration is either completely absent or utterly uninterested in listening to student concerns. Repeated issues, including bullying, inconsistent teaching, and outright disorganisation, were swept under the rug. Emails go unanswered, complaints are dismissed, and staff turnover is so frequent that students struggle to build any meaningful academic consistency.
As for the teaching quality: hit-or-miss doesn’t even begin to describe it. While a few teachers were passionate and hardworking (1 or 2 max), the majority seemed burnt out, underprepared, or just going through the motions. Curriculum delivery felt chaotic, and students were often left confused, unsupported, or unmotivated.
Worse yet, the environment cultivated by this school was emotionally draining. Student voices are stifled rather than supported. Mental health is treated as an afterthought. It felt like students were just numbers on a spreadsheet rather than human beings with real needs.
I expected challenges, it’s a school, after all. But I didn’t expect apathy, mismanagement, and a complete failure to meet even the most basic standards of care. Avoid if you have better options. Your child's education and wellbeing are too important to gamble on a place like this.

It’s hard to describe the level of disappointment I feel toward this school. The culture here is toxic. There’s an unspoken rule: don’t speak up, don’t stand out, and don’t expect support. Students who try to raise concerns are met with defensiveness or outright dismissal. The message is clear: stay quiet, or be labelled a problem. Communication is abysmal. Decisions affecting students’ futures are made behind closed doors, announced last minute, and implemented without explanation. Accountability? Nonexistent. Staff missteps are swept under the rug, while students are held to unrealistic, inconsistent standards. Academically, the school offers the bare minimum while patting itself on the back for mediocrity. There’s no real investment in differentiated teaching, or critical thinking. You’ll find worksheets, outdated resources, and a lot of “just memorise it” teaching. Perhaps mo... read full review

Teachers don’t teach. They aren’t there to help your child. They offer university guidance but have no proper person with experience or knowledge of what they are doing, the food is horrible. Water in the bathrooms are freezing in the winter. Forced ideologies on children. Facilities are very minimal. They ignore students health safety and wellbeing.

Both my children went through MSF, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience they had. The school did an exceptional job preparing them for the university world—not only academically but also in terms of personal growth. MSF fosters resilience in its students, teaching them to navigate challenges with confidence and independence. At the same time, the teachers and staff are incredibly caring and supportive, creating a balanced environment where students feel valued and motivated. This combination of high academic standards, compassion, and encouragement to be organized and self-sufficient truly sets MSF apart.
