Where we gathered.
The celebration was held at O'zbekiston Kasaba Uyushmalari Saroyi, the Palace of Trade Unions: a landmark concert hall in the heart of Tashkent, rebuilt on the site of the city's historic Sverdlov hall.
Words for the year.
Three voices carried the afternoon's theme, from our youngest students to the Class of 2026.
FP“Big dreams do not start big. They start small.”
FR“To strive is not to suffer. It is an act of hope.”
MA“We aspired. We strove. And today, we have achieved.”

Our graduates cross the stage.
In a CST tradition, each graduate was honoured individually, with a short tribute read aloud as they crossed the stage to receive their diploma from Executive Director Ms. Meena Rahmani.
Aspiring with courage, striving with determination, achieving with excellence.
