This week, we hosted our first Enrichment Showcase, and what an unforgettable experience it was! From thought-provoking Model United Nations debates to powerful theatre performances, stunning art displays, and an incredible Young Enterprise Fair, our students truly shone.
A special highlight? Welcoming residents from the local retirement home, who spent a joyful afternoon playing dominoes and games with our students. The warmth, laughter, and meaningful connections made this a truly heartwarming moment.
Thank you to our amazing students, dedicated teachers, and supportive parents for making this event such a success! Seeing our students step outside their usual routine, challenge themselves, and share their learning with pride was incredibly moving.

Desde debates del Modelo de las Naciones Unidas que nos hicieron reflexionar, hasta poderosas actuaciones teatrales, impresionantes exposiciones de arte y una increíble Feria de Jóvenes Empresarios, nuestros estudiantes realmente brillaron.
¿Un momento especial? Recibir a los residentes del hogar de ancianos local, quienes pasaron una tarde alegre jugando al dominó y otros juegos con nuestros estudiantes. La calidez, las risas y las conexiones significativas hicieron de este un momento realmente emotivo.
¡Gracias a nuestros increíbles estudiantes, dedicados profesores y a los padres tan apoyadores por hacer de este evento un éxito! Ver a nuestros estudiantes salir de su rutina habitual, desafiarse a sí mismos y compartir su aprendizaje con orgullo fue algo verdaderamente conmovedor.
