The Christian Union Primary School is marking 20 years of service to education in Dominica, with staff reflecting on the institution's contribution to the development of its students and the wider community.
Principal Mrs. Brenda George, who was part of the school's founding team, said the anniversary is a significant milestone for the institution. She noted that the school has remained committed to its mission of providing quality education grounded in Christian values since it first opened its doors two decades ago.
The school's leadership credited the dedication of its teaching staff and the support of parents and the community for its longevity. Over the years, the institution has seen generations of students pass through its classrooms, many of whom have gone on to contribute in various fields across Dominica and the diaspora.
Mrs. George, who has been with the school since its inception, described the journey as one of growth and perseverance. She said the founding team worked to establish a learning environment that prioritises both academic achievement and character formation, a philosophy that continues to guide the school today.
The anniversary comes as the school reflects on its role within the national education system. Staff members pointed to the importance of community-based schools in shaping young Dominicans, particularly in an era when educational institutions face evolving challenges and opportunities.
The Christian Union Primary School has been part of the educational landscape in Dominica for two decades, serving families and contributing to the development of the island's human resources. Its anniversary is being observed with activities that recognise the contributions of past and present staff, students and supporters.
Educators at the school emphasised that the milestone is not only a celebration of longevity but also a moment to renew their commitment to the students they serve. They noted that the school's foundation in Christian principles has been a source of strength and guidance throughout its history.
As the school enters its third decade, its leadership says it will continue to build on the legacy established by the founding team, adapting to the needs of a changing society while remaining true to its core values.
