      Academic Support System
In the school we can find 6 class building, for grade 7, grade 8, grade 9, grade 10 and two building for grade 11. Inside the class we can see there is two board using the chalk, but in the class at grade 11 use the board with marker. Beside that, we can find the toilet for student in the backside. In one class there are 30-40 students.
Student in here using the uniform on Monday until Thursday and Friday, and for Wednesday the student don’t using uniform, but free clothes. So, every Wednesday we can see the student using their clothes that their likes such as dress, blouse, and t-shirt.
Because this school is laboratory high school, so, this school use the campus’s facilities like computer laboratory, science laboratory and school hall. For the laboratory, they have chemistry laboratory for chemistry subject practicum, biology laboratory for biology subject practicum, and physic laboratory for physic subject practicum. This laboratory using together with the student university but in the different time, because this is a school laboratory.

      Teaching System
The school is open from Monday until Friday, and start at 07.30 am to 05.00 pm, each subject just have 1 hour in a day but continue. So every day, the student will have almost the same schedule. For example, the science subject will start at 09.30 am to 10.30 am on Monday to Thursday for grade 8, the English subject will start at 09.30-10.30 am on Monday to Friday, and math will start at 04.00-05.00 pm on Monday to Friday. Every Friday, the student will have collaborative learning except science subject in grade 8. In collaborative learning, teacher will not explain the material to student, but they will do some activity like showing something or cleaning the room or etc depends on the teacher.

      Materials and Other Learning Sources
In this school make me interesting with the learning, because the student don’t have own book, they are just bring note book. I am curious how the student can to learning the material before that teach in the school. In the school, the student can borrow book in the library to reading if they need some book. For the teacher used packet book and the module that they get from the government website, but there is some teacher just use the syllabus and internet for to search the materials

Measurement and Evaluation System
The school have four exam, and one of them is final exam. Because the school divide the semester into four quarter. First quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth quarter. But final exam to them in the fourth quarter.
For the evaluating student in the class, teacher give the student some quiz in the and of class. The question in the quiz include about the topic that they learn in that time. And after that the teacher give some homework to student.

      Curriculum
MinSCAT Laboratory High School uses K 12 Curriculum as the base for teaching the student. So, the student have to done 4 years in Junior High School, that are grade 7, grade 8, grade 9 and grade 10.  The student senior high school have 2 years, that are grade 11 and grade 12. The teachers use the syllabus that they download from government website as their direction to teach the student. In K 12 Curriculum, one year study divided into 4 quarter, that are first quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth quarter.
