School Curriculum

The present school curriculum is planned so that the majority of children may be able to write the Caribbean Examinations Council Examination (CXC) in as many subjects as they are capable of managing.  Examination results are, however, not the only aim of the curriculum.  The school’s focus is also to educate children culturally, spiritually and physically so that they may fulfill their potential and become productive, socially well-adjusted citizens in their community.

Students entering the school will be exposed to a maximum of fourteen subjects. They will begin making options from as early as 2nd form, where they choose between different combinations of sciences and foreign languages.   At the end of the Third Year, students and parents specify their career options and the CXC subjects they wish to pursue.  Each student entering the 4th year will therefore write eight (8) subjects chosen from about twenty-five (25) options offered at this level.
