My time studying at British Academy was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The structure of the curriculum offered ensured that our classes for each subject were more than just writing notes but lessons that were engaging, with open discussions that encouraged us to think critically. Now I find myself more open-minded, able to use these approaches and apply them to my studies at university. Furthermore, the guidance and essential life tips provided by my teachers both in and outside of the classroom as well as my leadership roles within the school have allowed me to take on new challenges and opened doors to new opportunities and experiences.

After leaving The British Academy I started ESMOD International Fashion School, studying Stylisme (design) and Modelisme (pattern making). My first year was unlike anything I had experienced and a massive learning experience. The many skills I learnt at The British Academy helped me to adapt to my new school life but outside of school was a different story.

 

We have a very intensive programme which was an adjustment as the way of teaching is more technical. My school prepares us for the fashion industry itself and so we are very hands on and working on being clean and precise in our designs, aiming for perfection. 

 

There are moments when the pressure of consistently being perfect dwell on me but overall I can definitely say I am extremely happy with the person I have become and couldn’t be more content about my current life situation and surroundings.

 

I am so grateful to my parents for supporting me and my dreams and to The British Academy for teaching me a great work ethic.

My experience as a British Academy student was nothing less than enlightening. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school for the four years I attended. The teachers allow you to reach your full potential in your strong areas and also support you outside of the classroom, to say in other words, my teachers became more like family after some time. I feel as if I had major growth as a person at the British Academy, not only as a student but also in my personal life. The school gave me wonderful experiences as well as some amazing friends that I will cherish forever. Due to the British Academy’s well-structured academics and teachers, I am now going to The University of the West Indies, where the foundation built by the school is giving me the ability to excel in life.

Leaving the British Academy was a bitter sweet moment for me, having to leave my second home and family made me very sentimental but it helped me realize how grateful and thankful I am for the years I’ve spent there. The British Academy molded me into the person that I am today and I am thankful.


I made so many amazing and outrageous memories with my classmates and teachers, and created many close friendships and relationships that I cherish deeply. I am quite appreciative of my teachers for giving me the necessary time, guidance and attention that I needed to excel in my academics. They became my biggest motivators when I lacked confidence in myself and have gained my trust and love.   


My High school experience was fruitful as I have met and worked with so many amazing, talented and intelligent people. Despite the long terms and stress that comes along with exams, I learned a lot about myself, being elected Head Girl helped me realise that I am capable of being a leader and that people believed in me. I hope I was an example to the students and wants British Academy to know that I am grateful and they have a special place in my heart.

When my parents enrolled me at the British Academy in 2011, they knew it was a gamble, a road less travelled by. After all, this school was roughly 4 years old and barely heard of. Nevertheless, it was the small class sizes and personalized attention that was and continues to be the school’s strongest attribute. At the time I was an overly shy girl, one that rarely participated in class discussion and believed that dyslexia defined who I was. However, it was here, surrounded by some of the world’s most supportive teachers that I blossomed into the charismatic, well-spoken woman I am today.


During my 6 years here, I had teachers who helped me find and develop my strengths, classmates that I’ll never forget and, friendships that will last a lifetime. Looking back, I will always remember when I was voted as Vice-Captain of Cook House. I helped make history when Cook House won Sports Day for the first time. 


The British Academy was my second home. There I learnt what it felt like to be seen, heard and accepted. This was the place I found teachers who believed in me and friends that turned into family. It was the first place where I knew I was enough, all on my own. The most important thing that the British Academy instilled in me was that nothing is truly impossible; no dream is too big to achieve once you are willing to put in the work and passion needed to get there. As a testament to their success, This school may be small, but its capacity for love and success is not, and for that I am grateful that I took the road less traveled by, because that, has made all the difference.
