Over three memorable days, students stepped beyond the classroom to participate in outdoor challenges, team-building activities, sports, and evening events. From the high ropes course and volleyball to shared meals, music, and time with friends, the retreat gave students an opportunity to try something new, strengthen relationships, and grow as a community.

The annual retreat has become an important À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ tradition. It brings students and teachers together in a different environment, encourages leadership and collaboration, and creates memories that continue long after everyone returns to school.

We thank our students for their enthusiasm and exemplary conduct, our families for their trust, and our faculty and staff for making this experience possible.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

We are deeply proud of the Class of 2026 and grateful to everyone who contributed to their success.

À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s Graduation Ceremony will take place on June 12, 2026. We look forward to celebrating this special occasion with our students, families, alumni, and the broader À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We wish our graduates continued success as they begin the next chapter of their educational journeys.

Three teams of candidates ran for President and Vice President:

1. Davide Zellino and Bohuslav Onyshchuk
2. Diana Kuznetsova and Amina Aguzarova
3. Kateryna Nedopaka and Tanya Whitworth

The election day began with spirited campaign speeches from all candidates, followed by a round of questions from students. The debate, moderated by Dr. Anderson, offered an engaging platform for each team to share their vision for the future of the school.

After the debates, students participated in a secret ballot vote, exercising their voice and civic responsibility in a meaningful way. The results were close, but in the end, Diana Kuznetsova (Class of 2028) was elected President, and Amina Aguzarova (Class of 2028) became Vice President.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Diana and Amina and wish them a productive and inspiring year of leadership ahead.

We would also like to thank Max Gershberg (Class of 2027) and Tomer Brook (Class of 2027) for their outstanding service as last year’s President and Vice President. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to the student body set an excellent example for future leaders.

The Student Government elections at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ are more than just a school tradition – they are a powerful reminder of the values of participation, leadership, and community that define our school.
