“Receiving this award is a true honour. The students’ commitment leads to their success, and I do everything I can to help them. For me, everything that happens from when a student enters the school to when he leaves should be treated as a pedagogical activity. It is so gratifying for me to see that this award recognizes innovative and different approaches for their true value,” explains André Cholmsky.
