As concerned parents, we petition the Junior School to extend the school term 2019-2020, or add extra hours for the new school term to make up for loss of teaching hours once the corona-virus situation eases and the Cypriot authorities allow: return to school.

What our children are facing is very detrimental, especially for the younger ages. The Junior School must show solidarity to the parents.

The combination of loss of teaching hours and parents who may end up losing their jobs due to this COVID-19, makes this petition all that more important.

The online classes provide very limited academic value and therefore we need a more robust academic solution, particularly if we are to continue paying fees in full. As everyone else in the Cypriot society, we ask The Junior & Senior School to fulfill its social mandate as a non profit organisation and assist in finding a solution in this very difficult times.
