"As a Ex-Maha Bodhi School student, I will say this is better than my secondary school. The teachers will actually CARE for you, and they treat you like their own children. Heck my form teacher even bought us McDonalds once, their school counsellors will open up to you if you ever feel like sad or whatsoever and their teachers will go all out to make their teaching as interesting as possible, they have multiple cca options and they have interesting school celebrations. Worth sending children to this school."
