“When I first came to Maxwell I was what I would call a seedling in my faith and walk with God. Maxwell helped me grow mentally, physically and spiritually. It has also sharpened my leadership skills. I am thankful for all that this school has helped me achieve.”
“Maxwell has always promoted a strong sense of Academic excellence but more importantly to me is that together with this, the school also focused strongly on my personal development. The spiritual and social life at Maxwell has had a big impact on me. Whether it was serving in our chapel, interacting with people at the cafeteria, or the many other opportunities found on campus, I got a chance to express myself and grow in different aspects of my life. “
“Maxwell is a place where I have been able to grow. It is a place where I learned how to be wise in handling time, choosing friends, and taking responsibility. But apart from that, it is a place where I grew closer to God and was capable of sharing my experience with Him. If you wonder how Maxwell is different from other schools, the answer is simple – both students and teachers invite God to be present, which makes all the difference.”
Maxwell has been the door to many opportunities in most aspects of my life. My relationship with God was not at its peak, but I did not doubt that with Maxwell, it would grow stronger. The way the school is built, makes it more than just a place to study. The dorms feel like home, filled with friendships that have now become like family. The teachers do more than teach; they guide, support, and give the best advice. Whether through spiritual life, academics, or social connections, Maxwell has shaped me into a stronger, wiser, and more grounded person. I am proud to say that I have joined a community in Maxwell that I will forever cherish in my heart.
Maxwell is an institution that has helped me grow to become the best version of myself. I believe that coming to Maxwell was one of the best decisions I ever made because I have grown socially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and in all aspects of my life. Additionally, the environment is serene and peaceful; full of different varieties of plants and creatures. This, among others, makes Maxwell one of the best learning institutions. It truly is a blessing!
