There were forty pupils enrolled in grades kindergarten through eight. There were three multi–grade level classrooms with each teacher providing full instruction in general education. The local national staff member provided instruction in the host nation language and culture. The educational aide provided service to all teachers. Specialists in physical education, art, and music came from Naples one day per month.
