Nixor College Foundation Program

Message from the Dean to Prospective Students

A Levels at the Nixor College Foundation Program (NCFP) is exactly what some students need after their O Level experience. Neither Nixor College nor NCFP is the right fit for all students. But it is the perfect fit for some. The question is – for whom? And, the answer lies in your own research.

Your research should include opinions of others. However, opinions even from those directly or loosely attached to A Levels education can be misleading if their information is ultimately based on hearsay rather than on factual data or personal experience. The opinions that would matter most to me would be from parents and current students and alums of the institution. Certainly teachers affiliated with that institution will have insightful feedback. From administrators, feel free to ask for relevant facts and data – like improvement in grades from O to A Levels and university placement statistics...

Message from the Dean to Prospective Parents

Challenge the logic of the herd!

Choosing the right A Level School is, for many, the first major life decision. Some students will have a strong say in the decision. Others may have their parents’ blessing to make it single handedly. Irrespective of the situation, your decision should be based on thorough research.

I urge you to study this website carefully as a starting point for your research. Tours of the campus and meetings with students, alums, teachers and administrators can be a logical next step in the research process. Opinions of others should matter, but only if their opinion is based on personal experience or verifiable facts. If someone shares an opinion with you (and most people love to share their opinion), it isn’t unreasonable to ask what their opinion is based on. Just because someone is older (your cousin who did his A level 4 years ago, or your 45 year old dry cleaner, for example), doesn’t make them smarter or better informed about A Level institutions. Teachers affiliated with that institution will have insightful feedback...
