A letter from the President

Ensuring children get quality education not only helps them to navigate through the challenges life has to offer, but also instills in them the values required in nation building. Unfortunately, millions of kids never get that classroom experience due to a variety of reasons.

WSMSS exists to make the world a better place (as children are the future). To build dreams. To help kids learn, grow and become who they want to be. And most importantly, to help preserve good values and culture. 

At WSMSS, we believe that education breeds confidence, confidence breeds hope and hope breeds peace.

What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a better way of looking at the world and learning.
