the school believes in a
balanced approach. It
doesn't discard tried-and-
true methods that have
proven effective over the
years. Instead, the school's
philosophy revolves around
integrating new ideas with
time-tested practices,
inding that harmonious
balance—akin to the middle
path in Buddhism—where it
bene its from the best of
both worlds.
In the past year, the
school proudly earned the
Eco-School Silver Award,
and in 2023, it has reached
an even higher milestone:
the Eco-Schools Green Flag.
This prestigious recognition
stands as the highest
accolade attainable from
Eco-Schools, an
international award
program endorsed by the
Worldwide Fund for Nature
(WWF). Eco-schools guide
educational institutions on
their sustainability journey,
offering a comprehensive
framework to weave these
principles into the very
fabric of school life.

worlds: the advantages of
a small school combined
with ample opportunities to
leverage technological
advancements.
