Dear Parents,

As we stand on the threshold of August, unity and global engagement resonate throughout our vibrant school. The echoes of Independence Day still resound, uniting us in a patriotic spirit. Our tricolor fluttering, students’ unity, and cultural pride showcased the strength of our diversity.

In August, we hosted the IC3 conference, where 70+ global career counselors gathered. This event reinforced our commitment to guide students onto impactful paths, expanding our global network.

Independence Week burst with colors and discussions, celebrating the essence of our nation. CAS events nurtured holistic growth, shaping socially responsible individuals.

With September on the horizon, let’s carry forward unity and curiosity. Together, we’ll explore, learn, uplift, and embrace fresh opportunities.

Thank you for journeying with us. Here’s to the fulfillment and impact of the month ahead.
