A School UCL have purpose-built classrooms which provide the children, each with their own work station. They also have a classroom for the Kindergarten and Nursery children.The core subjects taught in the school include English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Word Building. In an effort to provide a more holistic and well-rounded education to students, the Centre also offers students a range of extracurricular activities to choose from, such as computer skills, sports, singing, dancing and playing musical instruments. Bible studies are also compulsory to ensure the children are taught to the right values.Thier classrooms are equipped with air-conditioning to not only make learning easier for the students, but also to ensure volunteer teachers are comfortable while teaching.In between schooling sessions, students are provided with a balanced meal during lunch hour.
