We met our host teacher, Ray, at the airport and he helped us get settled at our new hotel.  We decided to go for a tour of his school, and met with the headmaster and many of the science department teachers (it is so big that they have 50 science teachers!) 

The school is VERY different from the one I visited a few days ago.  It is a high school (called senior high here) and students have to test to get into the high school they want to attend.  This school, Anglican Senior High School, has a strong academic reputation so it can be hard for students to get in.  Once they do, their high school education is now free, including room and board, food, and uniforms.  

The campus is huge and has many dormitories, so it felt almost like a small university to me when we were walking around.  We stopped in to see the first year students who have just arrived at the school in the past two weeks, I was astounded at how many students there were just in their assembly hall going through this new student orientation.  There are a total of 4000-5000 students enrolled, but they do not all fit on the campus at the same time, so they are on a rolling schedule where some groups get a few weeks off and others come back from a break.  

I was smitten by the murals on campus, painted by the art students.  Here are a few that I saw today!
