We are thrilled by their exceptional performance. As well as excelling in STEM subjects, the students have also performed extremely well in subjects like law and design & textiles. A Cambridge education is about supporting schools to help students become confident, responsible, innovative, reflective and engaged, and to fulfil their potential. We would also like to thank all the teachers and parents who supported and guided the learners through their studies and helped them achieve such success."

Ramakrishna Reddy, Head of Manthan School, Hyderabad said, "I would like to congratulate the students for their diligent work, the parents for their constant support and the teachers for their expert guidance. Our students who took Cambridge board exams in classes 10th, 11th and 12th have done exceedingly well, with over 60% of all grades received being A or A*.The biggest benefit of the Cambridge curriculum is that it makes students very confident individuals who can think for themselves, make rational choices, set ambitious targets and achieve them with hard work. Subject depth achieved is significantly high along with breadth of learning experiences offered. Apart from learning, through advanced career counselling we guide students to understand their passion, choose appropriate careers and select the relevant courses and colleges that will help them realise their dreams."
