St Clare's made me to study a diverse range of subjects, with some awesome teachers. Had I done A-levels I would have studied straight sciences but the IB gave me the opportunity to take psychology and this has provoked my interest in further studying neuroscience.

I was attracted by the international atmosphere at St. Clare's when I arrived here for the first time. The completely free choices of subjects and various after-school activities give me opportunities to try many new things I have not tried before. Different cultures and various languages drive me to learn more about global issues and fabulous cultures. I have become more open-minded and confident after studying here for three years. Furthermore, I have chosen my favorite course, which is actuarial science and I got offers from many competetive universities, such as LSE, UCL and HKU. Most of my achievements are due to teachers' help. The teachers here are kind, experienced and patient. With St. Clare's help, I am embarking on a new stage of my life that is filled with many opportunities.
