Celebrating 25 Years

In total, the number of students has grown from 13 in the year of the founding to 500 students from 50 nations, which impressively underlines the positive development and importance of the school. We can look back on a successful 25 years, and at the same time, we are looking forward to the future.

In recognition of this significant anniversary, we are planning to organize several activities - some large and some small. The activities and events are going to take place throughout the whole year.
