“The school is real, the students are in there, the teachers are in there, and they also have the support staff. The students are rarely seen outside because they are picked privately from inside. Besides, there are not that many, that’s why you rarely see them outside the gate.”
The creator narrates in the video before showing the school’s facilities and compounds.
Netizens were treated to a front-row seat experience of what goes on inside the institution. The school features an exotic ambience characteristic of an international school, the moment you step in through the gate.
They have modern classrooms and fully equipped laboratories. The classrooms are fitted with massive windows that give a clear view of the outdoors. Each student is assigned a storage area to store personal items while in school.
Inside the boarding facilities lie a mosque, a spacious dining hall and well-kept dormitories. The school principal hailed the school as a leading provider of international curriculum while praising the diversity of learners and an optimum teacher-student ratio.
He also welcomed learners from all over the region to join their school.
