Not just a School but The Best School for your child(ren)/wards.
Benford is a lovely school, I have two of my daughters there, and they doing marvelously well. The quality of the teachers is also encouraging and the environment is very descent for learning of kids. my daughters' diction is very good, you will surely love her command of English grammar. This school makes lots of sense but the fee is for the above-average earners.
Good school. They encourage Punctuality & Discipline which is fantastic.
