School of Nations opens new location
Students and teachers touring new location.
Following months of renovation to the former Woodbine Hotel complex in New Market Street, School of Nations opened its new location on Monday. The new building offers more than twice the space of the previous one.
The school offers a comprehensive list of services including nursery, primary and secondary education. There is also a special needs unit for children. There is a sixth form that caters for 140 students pursuing 18 different subjects from the University of Cambridge (UK).
Additionally, the school has a partnership with University of London where students in Guyana can earn a degree at the prestigious institution without leaving the country. These degrees are in a number of areas including; Business, Economics, Accounting, Business Administration, Banking & Finance, Information Systems & Management, International Relations, Management, and Sociology. There is also a one-year Diploma for Graduates in International Development.
School of Nations is also offering after-school classes for CSEC and Advanced Level. In addition the school is providing free after-school classes, two afternoons per week, to children (aged 11-14 years) living in the immediate area of the school.
Dr Brian O’Toole, the Director of the school said, “We feel that the period between 11-14 years, which we call junior youth, is a very special time. During these years, he or she leaves childhood behind and undergoes profound transformation”.
Towards this end School of Nations and Varqa Foundation is offering an after-school programme that seeks to enhance the spiritual and intellectual capacities of junior youth. Dr O ‘Toole believes the programme will contribute to their development in a significant way.
