The school has two classes in each grade and two after-school care units. For many years, the school has been designing and upgrading the learning environment for both students and teachers. The focus has been on creating “rooms within a room,” so that the learning environment can serve as an additional teacher for the students, be easy to adapt, and at the same time enhance job satisfaction for both students and teachers. The outdoor environment—the spacious schoolyard—is also constantly evolving. The school has a well-organized recess program with activities for the students.
