Beginning this academic year, we have introduced a K3 level program for the 3 year olds.  A total of 51 kids are enrolled in this program.  Month of June we allowed them to settle down as they were away from home and family for the first time ever!

After School Program (ASP)

ASP program has enrolled 15 students of grades 1 and 2.  This program helps the students in the evening with their homework which they bring back from their respective schools.  This program is a supportive program which assists our previous graduates to keep up with their school work.  This month the program ran for 12 days and a total of 154 children took advantage of this program.
