Description
I'll say two, first the absolutely perfect layout of campus. You have majority of your classes right on academic row which makes the trip to classes easy especially in the winter when you're trying to. . .
I think IB program in this school is very helpful for students to prepare for the collage and universities. Also, teachers are always on the campus, so it is always helpful for students to do. . .
One important aspect of the school is the technology. Due to the school's sponsorship each students get their own iPad which is set up to have grades, assignments, ways to take notes, textbook, and more. . .
