<p class="text-[15px] leading-[26px] mt-[8px] mb-[8px] break-words">Sekolah Rakyat is designed as a boarding school for elementary, junior high, and high school levels. What's great is that students not only receive formal education during the day, but also character development sessions, including religious values, leadership, and life skills at night. So, learning here goes beyond books to personal growth!</p>
