Great Performance

We just received exciting news from our tuition centres in Hyderabad. All the students did very well and scored excellent grades in their recent exams. And thus lay an important foundation for their future.

A total of 38 students across the tuition centres wrote their 10th grade high school government examinations this year. The results of these examinations were declared last month and we are very happy that all of them have passed with excellent grades. Two of them were even able to top their schools by scoring 10 points, which is the highest grade possible.

The students at the various tuition centres continue to perform exceedingly well in their schools. On average the children who visit our tuition centres regularly scored 83% in their recently concluded examination, exceeding the average performance by their peers and often topping their respective classes.

Our tuition teachers not only help the students academically but also encourage them to pursue extra-curricular activities in their schools. Our students play football and cricket, run relay races, dance, sing and practice other sports and cultural activities.
