“A sincere thank you to the International School of Laos, especially to the students for their continuous efforts in participating in competitions abroad. I want you to know that apart from bringing honour to yourselves by achieving these awards, we recognise your success as a tribute to our country Laos. We praise ISL for continuously pushing students to work and study harder towards achieving greater heights. Please continue this mission consistent with the younger generations of ISL students,” Dr Sisouk said.
The International School of Laos received awards at the recently concluded Copernicus International Olympiad in Houston, Texas, USA.
