In 2006, Sebastian and Mark started SVS School for English in a small room above a Pizza Hut in Havelock Road.

What began with just 8 students has grown to more than 300 students a day and over 25,000 over the past 20 years.

The school got bigger. The mission never changed.

This September, SVS officially turns 20. 🎉
