Success Stories
Nicky
First child to join Bright Start. She attended the German International School: ‘I had an amazing schooling career, and going to the German International School was the highlight of my career. It has taught me to be an independent youth and has opened many doors for me. Without Bright Start I would not be as passionate as I am today.’
