All classrooms are well equipped for learning, with LCD projectors, whiteboards, and air conditioning. Teachers are also well equipped, as each teacher is supplied with curriculum, lesson plans and PowerPoint Presentations for each lesson. Additionally, teachers are provided with a notebook computer which contains all teaching materials, black line masters, and teacher editions of course books. We use McGraw Hill text books in the classroom, which enables teachers to have an enormous amount of material to utilize, from online resources to worksheets, reviews and even remedial practice.
