Primary School
In July 2003, the primary campus (Grades 1-6) moved to their new campus on the Centre from the old campus about 3 kilometers away. Facilities on the campus include 8 classrooms, 3 double classrooms, a computer lab, art room, assembly hall, library, audio-visual room and six classrooms for Mother Tongue Studies. The large playground has two fields and a large outside basketball court. Eventually there will be a covered play area. Covered walkways allow students and staff to traverse the campus in the rain without getting wet.
Originally the kindergarten and the preschool for 3-year-olds (Pukpuks) and 4-year-olds (Kapuls) were located on a separate campus. However, in June 2004 the kindergarten moved to the new primary campus. Then in July 2008 the preschool moved to the new campus.
