Schooling
Children, from kindergarten to high school, are regular and diligent in their classes. Rehearsals are going very well at the primary and middle school levels, while at high school, arrangements are being made to resume sessions with external tutors, mainly to strengthen these students in scientific subjects (mathematics and physics). After a little over two months of classes, from Monday, November 24 to Thursday, November 27, 2025, our high school students successfully started and completed their supervised assignments for the first semester of 2025.
Registrations and classes are going very well among our academics in Lomé. We hope that their trainings have started well while waiting to hear from them when they will be able to contact us.
