Welcome to
the British West Indies Collegiate's website. We hope that this
online resource will provide you with useful information
and, if you are a prospective parent, assist you in
confidently arriving at a decision to enrol your child in our
school.
Since
the Collegiate started in 1993, we have sought to make
the school a secure and caring, yet demanding, place of
learning for all our students. We provide an
environment where students work hard, teachers give
individual attention to each child, and parents are
consulted and informed on all matters affecting their
child. Mutual respect, courtesy and trust are
evident at every level throughout the school.
Warmth and safety, firm but fair discipline and
co-operation, best describe our environment.
This is a school where people matter and where the
'whole' child is considered. To contribute to each
student's academic and social development is the primary
focus of our efforts. We seek not only to enhance
their knowledge and skills, but also to guide them
through becoming responsible citizens, equipped with
self-confidence, a sense of democratic values, and a
pluralistic view of the diverse world in which they live.
Such
a statement may sound abstract, and these pages can only
tell you so much, but if you wish to visit the Collegiate I
would be pleased to arrange for you to meet staff and see
classes in action, and to tell you more about our school.
I look forward to welcoming you as part of our community
in the near future.
