Our Pillars

 While this area fits into the general area of academics, which will be followed using modern curriculum as approved by the Ministry of Education, it is important to single out language skills. Language forms the basis of communication and the ability to communicate well is an asset. A concentrated effort will be placed on this area both spoken and written. Students will be expected to use Standard English at all times during classes. This will not be restricted to only English period, but all classes. This practice is intended to assist the students in being comfortable in speaking. Spanish will be introduced as is being done in other government primary schools being mindful of the growing bilingual nature of the community.

 We desire that our children be aware of, and give expression to, the Divine presence within; so that they may learn to honour and respect themselves, all life and the environment. They will be taught about all faiths so that they will come to appreciate others who differ from themselves.

 This will provide youth with an at-easiness with computers and their utilization as tools for personal development. Many children are introduced to computers in the form of games at a very young age and it is only later in life that they are exposed to the potential of the technology. The effort here will be to introduce the child from early, to experience the other side of technology, e.g. E-books, interactive learning, typing skills, and others.

 This discipline has been proven to be very effective in the overall development of children. Studies have also shown that youth who participate in a musical discipline perform better in their academic work. Students will be trained vocally and encouraged to play at least one musical instrument over the period of attendance at school.

 This activity promotes the importance of healthy living and body awareness. It develops positive social behaviours and the ability to interact appropriately in situations involving physical activity. Students will engage in various forms of physical activity each day. Team sports will be encouraged and every effort will be made to assist the students in developing the skills of the different sports currently played in the territory.
