Milestones

We believe that schools should allow students to finish school by 2.30 pm, many students get tired towards the end of the day and it can be unsafe for students travelling from home in the dark during the winter.

Shorter days allow time for rest, hobbies, and physical activity, promoting healthier lifestyles. We believe that with more energy, students can retain knowledge better. Balanced schedules can support mental health, reduce burnout, and encourage better academic performance. We think happier students learn better.
