An excellent development was the introduction of Higher Level 1 in conjunction with Sanskrit@StJames. This growth was only possible as many of our students chose to volunteer with us either in a teaching or administration capacity.

2021-2022: This was the launching of Sanskrut Bhakti with the first academic year focusing on providing the IGCSE course leading to Cambridge Board Examinations. This was at a time when there was a serious risk that Cambridge Board would withdraw its IGCSE Sanskrit Qualification due to falling numbers of students taking its exam. Though many students enrolled with us initially, only 34 students took the exams and passed with excellent results.
