On Confidentiality and Fiduciary Duty

A key benefit of working with Freshman Academy is that, as a Singapore-registered company, we adhere to the country's strict confidentiality and data protection laws. For example, we must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing data management and compliance.

Another advantage of working within a legal framework is that we assume a fiduciary duty in all our services. This means we are committed to providing the most optimal advice to our knowledge in our students’ best interests.

Whether it's a single consultation, an Admissions Program, or Full Support, we uphold the same high standards. With approximately 80% of students who consult with us eventually enrolling in our admissions programs, this principle has helped us build trust with future students.

Whether it is admissions or curriculum building, our team continuously refines the best practices. These efforts start with setting clear expectations, establishing transparent contracts with students and employees, and ensuring we operate within well-defined legal frameworks.

That said, there is still a lot of work to do. But I believe we are moving in the right direction. I advise to be careful about who you share your essays with. You should either personally know and trust these people or ensure that legal protections are in place to safeguard your information.

These considerations may seem boring, but they are crucial in the long run. As a community, we need to start talking about this topic more.
