The school follows the British Syllabi. Students are provided with facilities to pursue cultural and extra-curricular activities.

At the secondary level and higher levels of education, the School curriculum will include courses of study in the Science, Agriculture, Business Studies, Information Technology and Environment which would lead the students to pursue further education in Universities and higher Institutes.

The School has commenced special classes in Professional English, Spoken English, Elocution, Western Music and Oriental Dancing during week-ends. External courses in affiliation with Universities in U.S.A., U.K., Australia and India will be conducted.

Emotional and youthful styling is harmonised in this new package which is long lasting and of high quality design that one does not become tired of.

The 2 NZ-FE engine is another unique feature Toyota introduced; with the EMPS (Electronic Motor Power Steering) system attached to the steering column, which enables power to be drawn from a DC Motor designed to enhance torque, optimise performance and economise steering functions. The front chassis of this vehicle consists of a Macpherson strut with a stabilized bar, while the rear contains a torsion beam with toe- correcting bushing.
