At Qosmo International School, we break the mould and have put a new structure of classes and teaching. Our entire system is designed to develop a hard-working and creative attitude that promotes friendly competition, teamwork, and respect for parents and teachers. All our teachers are trained with a unique methodology and the counselling of students on each aspect of their academic career never stops. Our Rise and Soar Programs put the students in the learner and developers’ seats in our classroom, where teachers are guides who help the students learn to lead and teach themselves as well as each other through our unique patented methodology. |
