As part of the teaching concept that we implement, we have acquired textbooks from renowned foreign publishers, we have prepared specialized handbooks for many of the core subjects, and we have also created a small library with books by internationally renowned authors. In addition to this, math and physics are also taught online through a study program that we have acquired from the USA. This way, the students have online access to the programs and can do their homework, tests, and quizzes online. As additional assistance in social and science studies, the School has a regular subscription to National Geographic and students can use educational videos and texts in each classroom. AHSS has an especially designated computer lab, where students take math, physics, and IT courses. In addition to this, the school organizes electronic learning on Moodle, with accounts for specific subjects, so that the students can have access to additional information and methods for successful learning.
