I was one of the few American student that attended this school for freshman year in the 2016/2017 school year. This was when the building was brand new. I would have to say the campus was very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. There are some things that drove me to attending a different school for the rest of my high school career. The academics were horrible in my experience. The classes actually slowed down my progress as I was doing the same work I did in my (American) middle school. I hadn t improved in anything. The next thing that made my experience pretty traumatic was the teachers. Many of the classes that were prepared by teachers were very incomplete and unprofessional. It felt as if teachers were just going with the flow and didn t know what they were really doing. This made it hard to follow along. Another thing was the student body. I loved the collectiveness of having many people of many different backgrounds in one space but it got very frustrating for a young new student as I was. It turned very cliquey quickly. Since others related over their home countries it was easy for them to stick together and they wouldn t let anyone else in. All of this and more ultimately made me realize this school was definitely not for me. It pushed me to attend a local highschool for my sophomore year and forward. In no way should this make you steer away from the school because this was MY experience. It could be different and/or better for you.
