- Do you teach Religious Education?
Our main concern is to nurture the mind and the soul of our students. Because of the diversity and the plurality of the communities we serve, the religious education is given outside the school schedule. Knowing that we raise all of our students to have faith in God, encouraging them to know and practice their own religion and hence to respect others' beliefs.

- Do you provide healthy food to your students?
We avoid as much as possible selling junk food to the students. The school tuck shop sells pastry, candies, soft drinks and most important, home made sandwiches, in order to encourage students to consume healthy food. We also have occasional food sales organized by the students themselves, where they sell fresh fruits, fruit juice as well as homemade cake. The money collected from these food sales is used for the social outreach in which the students are involved.
