Workshop and craft store
The world of art and craft is in the heart of many Africans. This is why we wish to introduce the children to this world in their early days.
Ballet lessons, Karate, Judo, Chess Classes
The extra curricular activities help to keep our children busy in activities that allow them to develop their body and mind.
These activities enable children to exercise and improve memory, concentration, critical thinking, coordination, posture, flexibility among many other skills.
