2013 School Year Begins

The AlphaMax Academy has begun the 2013 school year in its AlphaMax Center for Learning.  The entrance for the facility is at the moment on Sterappelstraat.  The school's main phone number is now 597-400566.

AlphaMax has begun the year with its largest intake since its inception.  The facility is still undergoing construction and it will be several weeks before all areas of the complex are complete.

Classes begin at 7:00 AM for all sections.  Kindergarten and Lower School ends their day at 12:00 noon.  Middle School ends their session at 1:00 PM and High School ends their session at 1:45 PM.

This is the first time in 6 years that all sections of the AlphaMax Academy are in the same location.

The new location makes it easy for us to offer classes beyond normal school time.  Initially senior students will have their usual classes PSAT, ACT, IELTS and TOFL classes between 2 and 4 PM.

Students can expect new courses to be introduced.  We hope to expand our language course offerings.
