Facilities on the campus include 8 classrooms, 3 double classrooms, a computer lab, art room, assembly hall, library, audio-visual room and six classrooms for Mother Tongue Studies. The large playground has two fields and a large outside basketball court. Covered walkways allow students and staff to traverse the campus in the rain without getting wet.

Class sizes range from 12 – 25 students in a class, depending on the age of the students. Students come from 13 different countries.  Teachers currently are from 15 different countries.

The Learning Assistance Department is available to help students with various learning needs as personnel allows.

Students have classes in computers, art, physical education and music each week along with time in the library for skills and book checkout.

We strive to teach with a Biblical and global perspective using a written curriculum developed by school staff.
