In 1990, our School was placed among the UNESCO ASSOCIATED SCHOOLS. This is an association of schools of all educational levels, from all over the world, which take part in a special UNESCO project aiming primarily at the furtherance of the ideals of PEACE, BROTHERHOOD and CO-OPERATION.

The ultimate aim is to promote Education so that it may play a part in achieving INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING.

 

Our School has selected for its activities the theme

“OTHER COUNTRIES, OTHER CIVILIZATIONS”
