Just two years later, she blossomed into a confident young emcee - cheerful, outgoing, and academically excellent. “We visited many schools, but after touring TAS and hearing from friends whose children were already enrolled, my husband and I were truly impressed,” says her mother Lankika. “TAS has everything we were looking for includings outstanding facilities, convenient location, and most importantly, a team of teachers who really understand how to help children shine,” adds Chathu, Seyuni’s father and a senior manager at an international architecture firm.
