             the extraordinary commitment and
             dedication of our teachers and staff,
             and parents’ unrelenting trust in us.
             From inception, the commitment of
             our teachers to continuously update
             curriculum and pedagogy in order
             to equip children with 21st century
             skills has been at the heart of our
             education model. Therefore, it’s
             very satisfying that we have been
             awarded top scores for faculty com-
             petence and academic reputation.
             This is supported by our exceptional
             board exam results every year and
             placement of our students in the
                                      N
