It lightens the spirit of sportsmanship among students and encourages healthy competition. In addition, it trains students to build physical and mental resilience."

She added, "Along with the health benefits, it helps students develop life skills such as discipline and self-control.

Sport is integral to Modern English School's core curriculum, enabling students to develop sportsmanship, confidence, and leadership skills. Taekwondo promotes the overall development of a child with a strong focus on building character, proper technique, and self-discipline. It also enables the holistic development of a child by creating a synergy of mind, body, and soul. The balance between the three helps students achieve great focus and the right attitude, which takes them closer to their life goals.
