BENEFITS OF STAYING IN KK FOR YOUR A LEVELS

If you are already living in Kota Kinabalu, here are some benefits to living at home while studying for your A Levels:

  • A Levels are intense: you have 4 terms to study 3 or 4 subjects. It can take some time to settle at a new school or a new living environment.
  • When living at home with your family they can support you through A Levels. Most 16/17 year olds need this!
  • Economically it probably makes better financial sense. Going overseas can prove to be a tremendous financial burden to the family.
