Academic Information

The Board of Studies syllabus requirements are the basis for the full academic courses offered in both primary and secondary school.

Christian Living Courses are regarded as being of special importance in fostering Christian Growth. All students are required therefore, to participate in this subject and to achieve a passing grade each year over two semesters.
