The ELI Brook of Faith School tour began with a report of the students' performance. There are 285 students at the school. This includes children from the orphanage, children that board at the school, and local children from the community. The students grades (marks) are very high. They participated in a district-wide test for the first time this year. There are nearly 250 schools in the district, and the ELI Brook of Faith School placed 9th for the whole district. Many students go on to higher learning at the national schools - a prestigious honor.
The children begin school at age 3, the "baby class". Next is the "middle class", and then the "top class". After that, there are standard grades 1-8. The students attend school from 8:00-3:20 p.m. The teachers are at the school from 6:30-5:00, and then from 7:00-9:00 p.m. to help students that learn slower than others. The teachers are very dedicated to the students' education.
