Research Areas

Computer Labs

The school's ever-changing computer facilities consist of nearly one-hundred networked computers, with battery backup and satellite Internet connection. The main computer lab is split into an elementary/ middle school lab and a high school lab.

The elementary/middle school computer lab contains about 20 networked PCs. The E/MS software addresses the wide range of computer skills for kindergarten through eighth grade from Broderbund reading programs to Microsoft Office. We encourage healthy competition toward increasing keyboarding speed and accuracy.

The high school computer lab contains about 20 PCs for classroom instruction, research, and homework completion. Classes focus on essential skills, ethics and recognition of God's character in creative technology. We offer programming and web development for electives.

The yearbook class has a computer lab of its own especially equipped with Adobe InDesign and Creative Suite software.

Library

The HIS library is a blessing to the students, staff, and community alike. The air-conditioned facility, which houses the high school wing on the west and the multi-tiered elementary/middle school wing on the east, supports the educational research needs of the entire K-12 student body.

The computerized circulation catalog shows an inventory of over 26,000 books, as well as several sets of encyclopedias and many other reference books. There are six networked computers, which can be used for searching the library catalog, using Microsoft’s Encarta reference software, and researching on the web. Other library resources include hundreds of academic videos to support the curriculum and subscriptions to twenty magazine publications.

The high school section has tables and reference books for studying. The E/MS section, along with thousands of great children's books, is fitted with two lofts—one is set up with a couch and floor pillows for reading, and one is stocked with Korean books for our Korean students.

There is little doubt that the reading loft is the most enjoyed place in the library. Each class has weekly library time when students can be found up in the loft resting on large, fluffy pillows, reading whatever has captured their imagination or being read to by a volunteer.
