Safety
The safety and security of our students, staff, faculty and visitors is a top priority.
To ensure a safe learning environment, we use Visitor Aware, a comprehensive visitor management system that conducts background checks for all visitors entering our schools. All exterior doors remain locked during school hours, with entry strictly controlled. Additionally, we have strategically placed safety cameras around the building to monitor activity and provide an extra layer of security. These measures help us maintain a secure environment where students can learn and grow with peace of mind.
