Our comprehensive curriculum is built on the best of global and UK standards, and features the:

EDUCATION FACILITIES

Our academic building features spacious and well-resourced classrooms arranged around an internal courtyard, to accommodate a dynamic learning environment. The specialist learning spaces throughout the building encourage students to work collaboratively, spontaneously, and creatively. These include da Vinci Studios (multi-purpose science, art, and technology rooms), a performing arts centre, and multiple Einstein Suites – designated open spaces for both group work and individual study. Our well-equipped ICT infrastructure, which includeslaptop and i-Pad carts, and computers and interactive whiteboards in all classrooms, enriches teaching and learning, and ensures that our students are well-prepared to engage with the information and communication technologies of the modern world.

The spacious atrium, hallways and other informal areas in the administration building have been designed to provide flexible, friendly learning spaces where students and parents can meet and build a sense of community. Students and teachers can explore an extensive array of books and resource materials in the Discovery Centre, use computers for research, enjoy a quiet space to read or study, or work individually or collaboratively on projects. Children and staff enjoy their meals in our colourful Lakeview Café with panoramic views of Lisi Lake and the surrounding hills.

SPORTS AND RECREATION FACILITIES

Our expansive sports and recreation centre (which includes a swimming-pool, sports hall, outdoor basketball court, tennis/volleyball courts, and all-weather playing field for football/rugby) helps to promote an active and healthy lifestyle, while also encouraging students to develop team-building and leadership skills.

Outdoor learning spaces and interactive playgrounds foster opportunities for imagination, creativity, and exploration in the natural world, and include facilities such as adventure play areas, go-karts, climbing wall, and water and sand play areas. Our proximity to Lisi Lake also offers the school an amazing resource which is used for multiple sports activities and outdoor learning opportunities such as orienteering, cross-country running, science trips, and volunteering at the local dog shelter.
