Georges Flattery has proven itself to be one of the top schools in the Kaolack Region of Senegal, West Africa. The school is often recognized for having some of the top performing students during the annual governmental exams. For example, in 2022 the highest test score in the region was a student from Georges Flattery. Many students participate in extra curricular activities such as English Club, and it is a joy to see their excitement for education. Georges Flattery is growing, already having added two classes each of 1st-4th grade, they hope to add new classes each year until all grades are doubled.
