Chase’s Academic Foundation young achievers stand out with multiple passes at CSEC 2023
Waterfalls Magazine – Fifteen-year-old Anjel Perez is this year’s top student of Chase’s Academic Foundation. She secured passes in 14 subjects at the 2023 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC). She bagged 8 Grade Ones and 6 Grade Twos.
The 15-year-old who is really supposed to be in the 4th form skipped the 10th grade and ventured into the CSEC class.
The humble Perez challenged herself. She claimed that the support of parents went a long way to ensure student success. “To be honest, I was just chilling in school but my parents demanded more and I had to live up to their demands. They ensured I was always in school even at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning, they ensured I had a snack every time I needed it and even paid for tutoring in my weak subject areas. After all that commitment, I just couldn’t see myself just passing through school”
Perez gained Grade One passes in English A, English B, Caribbean History, Human and Social Biology, Integrated Science, Office Administration, Physical Education & Principles of Business. And Grade Two passes in: Biology, Economics, EDPM, Mathematics, Principles of Accounts, and Social Studies.

She said “School was just great. My best moments were probably enjoying the cookouts or stressing about Hatton’s class presentations and not wanting to hear him fret. But what I enjoyed the most was watching my friends grow and improve in our classes.”
“My advice to students writing in the future is to keep watering their roots. “When your root is well developed your tree is sound”- Dr. Jamain Hatton- Do whatever it takes to plant yourself firmly in any situation and get ready to reap your rewards.
In addition to Perez, 12-year-old Tyrone Austin of Chase’s Academic Foundation found himself in the CSEC limelight. He secured a Grade One in English A. Over the years the school has facilitated this unique arrangement by using the notion that parents and deserving CSEC students are all in support of writing CSEC early.
At this year’s sitting the institution also experimented with other subject areas for the lower forms. Austin wrote Principles of Business at form Three and he got a Grade One. The school has again performed well in the same subject. A total of 28 students wrote English A, this year, two students in Form Two, six students in Form Three, and 20 students in Form Four.
Additionally, two of the school’s young students gained excellent results at the Form 2 level. The boys were Kurtis Jones and Malique Lindore who both got Grades One in English. Master Lindore also got a Grade One in Mathematics. From among the girls selected from Form Three, 13-year-old Sydney Morgan also secured a Grade 1 Distinction and a Grade 2 in Mathematics while 13-year-old Kellisa Jupiter also got a Grade One. While Janiya Leavans and Anaya Williams also passed with Grades 2 and 3. Levans got Grade two in English and Williams got Grades Threes in English A and Mathematics.
Principal of the school, Henry Chase said that students were prepared for the examination by himself and Master English A teacher, Mr. Franklin Langhorne Broadcaster – Educator. The school sent 70 students for the subject this year and 25 students got Grade Ones 32 students got Grade Twos’, 11 students got Grade Threes and four students got Grade Fours.
Principal Chase assessed that students are given a first-hand feel of the real examination conditions when they write early, and it also provides the school with the kind of support systems at home.
Mr. Langhorne assessed that the school is blessed with Master English A teachers, and this is responsible for the success of the institution. The veteran educator posted that the normal teacher may not be able to get this wind of results.
“Henry Chase seems to possess a God-given knack of selecting the Great Master Teachers,” stated Mr. Langhorne. Chase said he believes that parents must find schools with Master Teachers, who will inspire, motivate, and condition children to learn and thus, prepare them for life. He feels the Grade 6 Exams will not determine the outcome of Children.
