The TOEFL® Advantage at Good Hope School


On 3 July Good Hope School invited Smart Education, the official representative of TOEFL® tests in Hong Kong and Macao, to demonstrate how the TOEFL® tests could help the senior secondary students compete in the 21st Century. Smart Education explained how TOEFL® could benefit participants and gave some examples of universities in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia that accept TOEFL® scores in their admission processes.

Earlier this year, F.3 students from Good Hope School took the TOEFL® Junior test. The excellent results they achieved showed that Good Hope School is not only one of the top schools in Hong Kong, but is also a school whose students have an internationally recognized high standard of English proficiencies.
