Academic Competitions
Because we believe education is the key to success, we participate in key educational competitions that build the mind of our students and make them sharper than they usually would be. The selection process is transparent and every student is given the chance to justify why he or she should be picked. We are currently participating in two (2) educational competitions, namely: National Science and Math Quiz (NSMQ) and The Sharks Quiz.
