A Week of Themes, A Lifetime of Memories: Our Graduates Final Days

Last Friday marked the final school day for our graduating class. Each day came with a new theme and plenty of creativity: from outfits inspired by the first letter of their names, to childhood fictional characters, journeys across the seven seas, imaginative time travel looks, and a stylish send-off into the night. A joyful and memorable way to celebrate their last week together. Berlin · 21 April 2026
