Parent council

Parents and guardians volunteer for school events and organize activities that help the development of their children.

We have choir singing classes for all ages of children in order to improve their personal development. Our students sing in Mongolian and English language while learning about music. Singing Mongolian folk songs helps our students understand more about culture, learn from traditions, and be proud of their culture. Patience and teamwork skills are also exercised.
