High School
Grades 9-12
Students who have finished their 8th year in school are considered high school students. Our educational technology tools support the teaching and learning process, with online learning platforms, video conferencing, multimedia resources, etc., where our high school students must take five courses between each half of the academic year to be considered full-time.
Our hybrid education system gives students and families flexibility by allowing for direct interaction between students and teachers, and fostering discussions, debates, and hands-on activities but also giving students the flexibility to access online learning materials at convenient times and from any location with internet connectivity.

A typical day
Our high school students benefit from certified teachers for each main course — on Campus in Angola and online in the US, who work in a team to support and assist our students through their academic journey. Teachers and mentors intentionally review students’ work habits and behaviors in the context of our bell schedule to ensure adequate course progress.
Our student-centered system enables students to progress at their own pace, review material as needed, and receive personalized feedback in their daily studies via high-quality asynchronous online courses where courses last no more than 18 weeks at a time.
One of the high lights of this academic system is that students who are self-motivated, ahead of pace, and can work independently, are more likely to graduate earlier than expected; meaning that ultimately, a student’s work habits and behaviors determine their graduation date. Ceremonies are arranged to celebrate this great accomplishment.
