While our school operates independently and is tuition-based, we firmly believe that financial considerations should never be a barrier to a child's education. As we expand our programs, our commitment to accessibility remains unwavering. We actively work to provide various financial aid options and scholarships to ensure that every child has the opportunity to benefit from our enriching educational environment. We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive community where all children can thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances.
