LIFE IN PELITA
Schooling encompasses a majority of a student’s life - not just in terms of time, but also influence. We know and understand that level of responsibility, and strive to stand apart from the monotonous repetitive stereotypes that many educational systems have become. We are lively and innovative; equally serious about work and play; a one-of-a-kind school.
