Points of Pride

Academics

Academics form the core of our students’ educational journey, equipping them with essential knowledge, practical skills, and the ability to think critically and solve problems. Student recognition, such as awards, praise, or other forms of positive reinforcement, plays a complementary role by validating hard work and academic effort.
