School Song
We are small but we are smart, we love to learn and we'll work hard. We are young and we are kind, we will grow with a golden heart.
Through subjects that you teach, we'll inquire and discern. And studying I.A., will help us to create.
We are small but we are smart, we love to learn and we'll work hard. We are young and we are kind, we will grow with a golden heart.
When we wonder where we are, our star will guide us there. To shape a brighter future, the world is ours to share.
Now that we are all mature, and we know what is right and wrong. And we never will forget, school is a lively neighborhood.
