While we are happy to welcome two new staff, sadly we have to say goodbye to a familiar face. Sergii, who has been a very valuable part of our team since the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, will be resigning at the end of this week.Sergii will be moving to Africa to head a hospital team in Libya. We wish him the best of luck and would like to thank him for all of the flexibility, hard work and dedication he has given to the school. Kindly see his message to staff below:

Dear Parents,

It has been a truly rewarding experience to teach your children. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them grow and learn, and I am inspired by their kindness, curiosity, and potential. They are truly wonderful students, and I have no doubt they will grow into remarkable individuals who will contribute to making the world a better place for both humans and animals.

It is with a heavy heart that I share my departure. However, I hope that everything continues to go well for you and your children. I look forward to the possibility of crossing paths with you and your amazing kids again in the future.Wishing you all the very best!

‍

Sincerely,

Sergii
