ACADEMICS
HIGH SCHOOL
Our school is learning-focused with a strong emphasis on both the academic progress and personal development of our students. We recognize that just as every student is a unique individual, every day is a new beginning and an opportunity for success and happiness.
We believe that high school students learn best when they are engaged in their own learning and inspired to work toward their individual goals and passions. In high school, we aim to provide the skills, knowledge, and understanding for our students to become successful, life-long learners.
The academic curriculum is only one part of our school project, and our focus is always on the needs and happiness of each student. We firmly believe that school days should be the happiest days of everyone’s life, and we work hard to make sure that is true for all our students as we prepare them to compete in real life.

Expanding the contents to deliver an extensive and generous foundation in areas, as literacy, mathematics, technology and arts. Our High School standards call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real-world issues and challenges.
They prepare students to think and reason mathematically. The standards set a rigorous definition of college and career readiness not by piling topic upon topic, but by demanding that students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly do.
The English language arts standards require certain critical content for all students, appropriately, the remaining crucial decisions about what content should be taught are made considering the multiculturalism of our students. In addition to content coverage, the standards require that students systematically acquire knowledge in literature and other disciplines through reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
