Facilities edit
The school moved to a new location during August 1999 and was above the office of a furniture factory.[1] It remained there until early 2011. The school relocated to a new purpose-built multi-story location in February 2011.
The new building contains classrooms for ages 3–4 through secondary level including classrooms for art and music, a science laboratory, a kitchen and food-serving area attached to a canteen/hall with stage, a library, and a computer lab. Phase 2 of the building process will see a gymnasium attached to the school. As in the former location, the new school has a security gate with 24-hour security personnel.
