We are immensely proud of their academic excellence and the solid foundation they have built for their future endeavors. 

Not just exceptional academic performance, but our students have also displayed remarkable achievements in the field of sports.

I hope you all are cherishing your summer break to the fullest. Our EYP2-Grade 10 summer campers are immersed into unforgettable experiences at school. The camp at school offers an array of enriching activities encompassing arts, sports, adventure, dance, and much more. It provides an ideal platform for our students to cultivate their talents, explore new interests, forge lasting friendships, and make cherished memories during their holidays in a secure and nurturing environment.  

Lastly, on behalf of the entire school administration and faculty, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to each and every one of you for a joyous and rejuvenating holiday season.
