The entrance is a spacious hall they have. Apart from heating and fan, and air conditioning, the students can see a fireplace, tables, a large table with chairs, a small bar, and cameras so that the director can see that everything is in perfect order.
On every floor, in every room, and every place is fireplaces and elevators.
Finally, they have a room where they help students choose the careers according to what they want.
From any angle, you can see the street, everything is modern; it has classrooms everywhere and with screens where teachers can put the slides because the projector is always inside the classrooms and thus be able to give their classes.
The auditoriums because they have some, all of them are modern, spacious and with heating, air conditioning, alarms, fire extinguishers in case there is a fire, etc.
Auditoriums use them for talks when students graduate or to teach. They also have rooms for support groups.
All the dining rooms are modern, as is the rest of the school.
On the other hand, they also have three cafeterias: one for senior executives, one for teachers, and one for students; all modern, spacious and with excellent views from anywhere.
They also have places where students can practice the sports they want before going to training.
There are places where students can train: basketball, soccer, soccer, tennis, long jump, low jump, archery, Lacrosse, which are both outside and inside the school.
The school also has two swimming pools: one for women and one for men. The bathrooms for both women and men are spacious and modern are the showers.

There are also places for students to read that are not the library.
The school has the most renovated and updated technology because it has: projectors, laptops, DVD, HD television plus Netflix included, all modernized.
Also, there are rooms where teachers and the principal use to celebrate an important event.
"We, the teaching staff, administrative staff, psychology, psychopedagogy, and the Principal, welcome you on the first day of classes," said the principal to his students.
Always the first days of school, there is an introduction of what will happen during the school year, what will expect and not expected of the students, and the words of motivation from the principal can never be missing:
"As you will see, we have made some improvements to what are the facilities of the school itself; for example: throughout the year, they will have at least twenty Academic Decathlons, Spelling B, in addition, they will have many intercollegiate competitions of which, some of them will be outside the country.
On the other hand, eight Journalism classrooms have been opened for students who feel that this is their passion or career to follow, and see this as a long-term career from now on. On the other hand, two discs have hired during the break, they can listen to music or dedicate a song to someone for any reason.
On the other hand, new competencies have been implemented such as Mathematics, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Language, Literature, Literature, and everything related to languages.
Also, this year, you will take surprise exams, and you will have to take a lot of essays as part of your learning processes and to be able to move on to the following years.
The reason for all this is that you begin to have a more or less clear vision of the career to studying and that you make decisions independently and personally; in addition, in terms of music, acting, dance, and cheerleaders, there will be auditions for all of that as follows: dance auditions will be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from ten in the morning until ten-thirty; the auditions for music will be at the same dance time, the auditions for cheerleaders will be Monday through Friday outside of class time, and finally, the auditions for performance will depending on the work, and you will know that in advance.
Anyway, this year will be demanding but rewarding for all of you because we will be preparing you for the future; but do not worry because I know you can do it, but I can only tell you: Courage and strength students, you can!
Before ending this long, exhausting, and overwhelming speech for all of you, I remind you of the following: students who break or fail to comply with any rule or regulation of the school established by this institution will be punished following the provisions of the regulation of the school. With this, they can go to classes. Thank you, students".
The students entered their respective classes, according to the schedules sent to them by email.
As the minutes passed, the students realized that this year they will do stronger than the director had told them: more essays, more projects, more homework, more lessons, more internals, more of everything, and less time to spend. among friends and to go out.
As for sports, all the children signed up for the different sports they had, but when it came to soccer, all the boys and girls were there, they signed up for journalism, for the Academic Declaration, and Spelling B; As for Amy's group, they signed up for Cheerleaders and as for the events committee, the girls signed up and their friends protested saying:
"If they are going to continue targeting everything there is, we are not going to see each other at all, and we will be further apart because we will have less time to see each other," Oliver said.
"We are not going to be able to see each other at night," said Johan.
"Until last year, we could see each other even if it was only for moments in school and everything we wanted outside of school; but now not even that," said Kevin.
"Why do they do this to us? What do they no longer want to be our friends? Jackson said.
"This year will be strong, but we felt relaxed because we were with you overnight, they started signing up for all the activities, and with all that, they won't have time for us, and that's not fair, "said Nickolas.
"We know that this year is not going to do anything easy, much less for us because we have gotten into so many things: you in all sports and we in the rest except cheerleaders; which will be very difficult to see each other, but that does not mean that we no longer want to be her friends; we have simply chosen what we like and what we are passionate about and all of us, both you and us, know what we want to do with our lives, but that does not mean that we will never see each other again, we will see each other much less than last year, but we will find a way to see each other, "said Deborah.
"We will try to be in their matches and their training sessions and competitions, but we do not promise or swear anything, we are just going to try," said Alona.
"Although it sounds cruel, the problem that will always exist between you and us is that you do not have to work or do anything because your lives are resolved long before you were born; on the other hand, we have to find a way to get ahead and if that means that we have to get involved in all this, even if it seems a tremendous madness what we are doing, we get involved because we have to see from now that we like to choose that as a career Rosalie said.
"That did sound cruel because we are not to blame for all that you just said and despite that, we also want to study a career and that is why we also want to get involved in all that, but we're going to do it little by little," said Emmett.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that," Rosalie said.
"Ok, but we got hurt if all of you think like Rosalie," Emmett said.
"Yes, it indeed sounded cruel but, that is life and we only have to accept it as it comes because it is a matter of time for you to make excuses for not seeing us until it becomes easy for you not to see us or say anything to us because even if it sounds cruel to admit it, what separates us is money and what we like," said Vanessa.
"That is not going to happen because above all, we are the best of friends and we have known each other forever and if you think like this, it is because you do not know us and hurting us is easier than being with us," said Nickolas.
"That's not going to happen; at least, not with me because you are all our best friends and we will always support each other no matter what, so let's stop these ridiculous and pretend this conversation never happened," said Sookie.
"OK, I agree with Sookie, let's forget we had this conversation and we'll try to see each other; let's always look for the way to see ourselves, no matter how difficult and no matter what, we will put our friendship above everything and everyone," said Dan.
They all agreed that they would do the impossible to see each other and not to lose the friendship they have had for years.
For the next two weeks, both boys and girls were balancing everything: homework, lessons, projects, essays, the newspaper, training sessions for basketball, soccer, tennis, soccer, volleyball, swimming, preparing for the tests of KET, PET, IB, IGCSE, and CAE, getting ready for Spelling B, as a committee preparing something for the 4th of July; at the same time, seeing each other, talking, etc., at first, all this was difficult for them but little by little they have been getting used to the crazy schedule that they have.
"It has been several weeks since we spoke the truth about our fears and insecurities; for the first time, in a long time, we had our first fight and all because we were overwhelmed by so many things to do. What we must do is calm down and find a balance that we have achieved in these two weeks, but all this needs to be balanced more. I can't believe we've gotten used to this madness that our lives have turned into since the school year started," said Jack.
"Yes all that is true, including the fight; so, let's make a clean slate and dedicate ourselves to spending more time together, enjoying our company, and helping each other in everything we can think of; as long as, we do not fight and do not forget that our friendship has to be above anything, including above these stupid fights, "said Esther.
They all agreed to the same thing, they don't want to fight and they are going to solve all the problems they face together and talking.
In class, the Calculus teacher was explaining to the students how he is going to do the whole year and the sacrifices they have to make if they want to spend the year; when the director came in and said:
"Good morning students and sorry for just entering like this, interrupting the class that must be entertaining, but I have several important announcements to tell you and that you cannot wait until later:
1. The next two weeks, we are going to be indifferent schools for Spelling B. What does that mean? It means that this Friday, we will inaugurate the competitions with the Spelling B and with the Academic Declaration; followed by, language skills and all academic skills throughout this school year.
This means that we are going to go to different schools and also to different cities and countries to carry out these competitions that will be beneficial for all of us but, especially to you, because they are going to enrich you deeply and you will have a perfect idea of the career to study once you have finished college.
So, the people who agree, to sign up for the end of the other hour of classes, do we agree?
2. For a month, we started the competitions of football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, bow, and arrow, long jump, short jump, boating, etc.; anyway, absolutely all sports and we started with the inauguration, this Wednesday to be exact and what does that mean?
Well, it means that, at the end of this hour, the coaches will be on the course, asking who want to participate and for them, they go out to train.
They are going to make several exhausting weeks for the people who enroll in any of these sports because they will be training hard and with great difficulty, they will have time to dedicate to their studies; For this reason, they will have to manage not to leave their studies aside and to comply with all the activities and challenges that are presented to them.
One of the positive parts of all this is that thanks to these parties, they will not only be here; but also outside the country, such as: in England, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Stockholm, Brazil, Canada, Greece, China, Japan, Russia, Italy, Mexico, etc.; anyway, we are going to go everywhere and meet people around the world.
In each country they visit, they will get their own experiences, they may know love and above all, they will have more friends.
On the other hand, for people who do not sign up for any sport; If they wish, they will be able to help their friends, putting them up to date in all the subjects so that they do not become difficult for them once they return to school.
Well, that's all, I will leave you to continue with the classes" the director finally said.
Thus, the principal left the class, leaving the students happy at such news; which, they did nothing but talk about it.
"We should join cheerleaders," Amy said.
"Yes and so, we will have as many men as we want," said Gia Matteo.
"And we will also be able to show off our statuesque bodies," said Serena Van der Woodsen.
"And go to as many parties as we want," Tricia Brewer said.
As Michael and his friends heard their conversation, they began to tell them the following:
"Group of holes," Michael yelled.
What an animal you are! You don't know anything about anything! " Vivian Gardiner said.
Also, there were different reactions to what the director said. They all had their good and bad reactions but at the same time, they felt panic about so many things or activities that they had to accomplish. Their reactions were as follows:
"That means we are going to be distanced," Nuala said.
"No, because we will find a way to see each other or keep in touch every day," Jared said.
"We have to do a miracle to be able to see each other outside of class because with everything the director said, we will not have time for anything and we will hardly see each other if we are lucky," said Eretria.
"We are not going to have life at all," Lana said.
"We are scared by everything the director told us. Indeed, we will not have time for anything; but as always, we will see the way to see ourselves and to fulfill everything that is demanded of us ", said Pilou.
"Only time will tell what we have to do, let us not rush it," Billy said.
"But if we have all listened to the director when he said that training and all extra-curricular activities begin today and in a matter of days, the people who chose soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, bow, and arrow, long jump, short jump, canoeing, etc.; they will be leaving for a month and those of us who stay here have to juggle so that all of your notebooks are up to date," said Patty.
"No, we are not going to be apart because we will find a way to see each other, even if it is in those few nights before we leave," Thad said.
During that panic among the students, the coaches came to ask who they were going to choose: football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, bow, and arrow, long jump, short jump, boating, etc.; those who signed up had to go out to train.
