Two second places in competition
Toulon and Sanremo, with the whole class and no prior selection.
Our students took second place at the 27th International Competition of Toulon, and second place at Sanremo.
What matters in these two results is not the ranking. It is how it was reached: the entire class entered, with no prior selection, on about three hours of training a week, against schools whose students train sixteen hours a week.
That does not mean three hours are worth sixteen. It means that what is done with those three hours counts for more than people think, and that a child who was not screened at the door can go a long way.
