In 2001 KSC started up an Exemplary Secondary School in the city of Sulaimaniya. The school started as a project to offer high standard education, through developing the Kurdish schooling system and combined it with an English one.The project proved to be very successful and the school is now one of the best ones available. The students are from age of 12 to 18, and they are accepted to the school through an exam done by all primary students in Kurdistan, as well as an exam done at the Exemplary school.At present, the school has about 250 students, with approximately 25 per class. They are taught all scientific subjects, such as chemistry, physics, and science, in English. They also devote themselves to more hours of studying the English language, which make them better prepared for University, or an international work place. We try to provide the school with teachers from abroad to develop the teaching methods, and take part in the general school work.The school year starts in September and ends in May, with six days of teaching a week, six hours a day. In the summer, they run extra courses for the students. The subjects vary from those of scientific nature, to art and music. Since the summers are long and hot in Iraqi Kurdistan, these are popular courses, very much appreciated by the students.
