Excellent Grades

The Indian school year 2018/19 had come to an end and we have received the first school reports. The children, who live in the family communities, again finish the year with very good results.

In many subjects they were able to achieve a grade of 9, which is excellent.

They are building a solid foundation for their future. We are very proud of their good performance.
