The Secondary building is currently being expanded into twice its size. The school consists of children and teachers of many nations which makes it nationally recognised. It is also Cambridge certified. The school has mostly teachers from England and there are some foreign teachers teaching subject of their own country.
[edit] Computer Facilities
The school has two ICT Labs equipped with modern computers. These computers are equipped with an electronic optical mouse and keyboard. There are many people using these ICT Labs for schoolwork and homework. The computers have USB slots in the front and back of which only the ones in the back work. The front slots do work, however, they tend to fry your USB disk. The two ICT Labs are quite different to each other as Lab 1 has Flatscreen monitors and Lab 2 has the old- fashioned monitors, still both of them look the same old- fashioned computers with Windows XP software.
