School Leadership
While academics are the main focus for most private schools, many also emphasize a well-rounded education by encouraging extracurricular activities like sports, music, arts, or clubs. These activities boost motivation, make school more enjoyable, and give students a break from their academic focus. They also help deepen friendships and develop soft skills.
