On February 9, 2009 Embassy Los Angeles Long Beach school opened its doors to an array of local businesses, university partners, international agents, staff and students to celebrate its official launch.
It was an opportunity for the school to show off its bright modern facilities. When in the spacious classrooms the students benefit from state-of-the-art interactive whiteboards, digital course materials and instant access to the internet. When out of class students can enjoy using the facilities of the computer centre, and large student lounge with table tennis, football and cable television to entertain students.
Three students were chosen to officially open the centre by unveiling a founding plaque (pictured below). Their names (Hyun Seung Lee from South Korea; Bilge Karakas from Turkey; Fanta Boukar from the Republic of Niger) are displayed on the plaque to comemorate the event. Each of the students told their stories of academic achievement and aspirations to the assembled crowd.
Afterwards, the guests were invited to take a tour of the facilities, to meet staff from the Embassy school, and to enjoy the music and food!
All staff and students relocated to the new school at the end of December, which is situated in the world trade centre of the lively coastal town of Long Beach, just 10 miles from downtown LA. The new school now benefits from a large outside courtyard, a rooftop terrace, and shops and cafes on the doorstep.
