In addition the school is providing free after-school classes, two afternoons per week, to children (aged 11-14 years) living in the immediate area of the school.Dr Brian O’Toole, the Director of the school said, “We feel that the period between 11-14 years, which we call junior youth, is a very special time. During these years, he or she leaves childhood behind and undergoes profound transformation”.Towards this end School of Nations and Varqa Foundation is offering an after-school programme that seeks to enhance the spiritual and intellectual capacities of junior youth. Dr O ‘Toole believes the programme will contribute to their development in a significant way. |
