Before I came to this school, I couldn't imagine that how can people learn things by themselves; after I came here, I understood it.

In our school, you will never need to worry about how to play a new sport. The coaches and teammates always welcome you and support you.

I improved my skills so much, and I really appreciate my coaches and teammates. At the same time, I started learning how to lead a group, which was challenging and exciting,
Art, Music, and Theatre:

It was a great experience to join the group.
