THE SENIOR SECONDARY SECTION
The senior Secondary section of the school promises students to prepare them for any competitive examination in the country in addition to the designed syllabus of the classes. To fulfill this commitment, the teachers walk that extra mile and coach them after school hours so that they do not have to attend any coaching center outside school.
