Classrooms & Labs |
Each classroom is modern and comfortable with an interactive whiteboard and full internet access so lessons can be conducted from teachers’ laptops where required. In order to facilitate more efficient modern teaching methods, all teachers have been provided with a personal laptop to enable more detailed preparation. Notice boards provide display space for class work and projects.
The recently renovated and upgraded Biology Lab is fully equipped to facilitate the needs of both students and teachers, with much of the teaching being conducted using interactive whiteboards. The lab has all the necessary equipment to cover the requirements of both the International GCSE and GCE Advanced Level syllabi, including biological models, potometers, spirometers, spectrophotometers, high quality microscopes and apparatus for microbiology studies.
The Chemistry Lab has been a centre for GCE practical examinations since 1996. Recently renovated, it is fully equipped to meet the Edexcel specification, incorporating the latest technology including interactive whiteboards with access to the internet, molecular models and a wide variety of chemicals.
The Edexcel-approved Physics Lab is fully equipped with laboratory stations designed for groupwork and utilizes interactive whiteboards for efficient teaching. The number of students per class is such that the teacher is able to supervise the safety of student activities and have sufficient time to actively work with each laboratory group.
The role of the laboratory is essential in International GCSE and GCE Advanced Level Physics courses since students must construct their own understanding of physics. Experiments are designed to critically engage students’ minds so they acquire the manual and mental skills associated with learning physics. Laboratory activities are an integral part of the learning process to enable students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and principles of Physics.

The Science Lab is designed to cater for the requirements of the Science syllabus in the Lower School, Classes 1 to 3. It is fully equipped for conducting the necessary experiments to facilitate learning and knowledge of scientific principles at this level. The available apparatus covers the three branches of science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Teaching is conducted using interactive whiteboards.
There are three fully-equipped computer labs fitted with interactive whiteboards to incorporate modern teaching methods. All the computers available for the students are multimedia, networked and use LCD monitors. To enable students to carry out research and complete projects, all computers have internet access and printing facilities. In addition, all computers utilise popular application software to meet a wide range of academic needs.
