“The individual relationships I established with all my teachers facilitated easier conversations when I was met with queries. The quality of teaching promotes such a good classroom environment allowing us to all learn from discussions.” 

“The teachers were always super willing to lend an extra hand outside of classroom time which is something I’m really fortunate for. I strongly believe that our cohort of girls, and their passion to succeed and support one another, really pushed me to become the best version of myself, and fostered my drive to perform both academically and within my co-curricular activities.”
