Advancing towards educational excellence: Dominica Grammar School transformation update
Dominica Grammar School, founded in 1893, has long been recognized for its commitment to educational excellence. With support from the Dominica Citizenship By Investment Program, this esteemed institution in Roseau, the capital city, is undergoing a significant transformation to modernise infrastructure and enrich educational opportunities.
In a recent speech at the Grade Six National Assessment results release ceremony, Chief Education Officer Dr. Jeffery Blaize also emphasized the critical role of conducive learning environments in students’ academic progress. He stressed the need for home and school environments to provide support through exposure to reading and opportunities for intellectual discourse.
Aligned with this vision, the Government of Dominica remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering high-quality education facilities. The ongoing transformation of Dominica Grammar School exemplifies this dedication, with upgraded facilities poised to enrich student learning experiences and raise educational standards across the island.
Through MMC Development and local contractors’ supervision, significant milestones have been reached in the project, including the commencement of renovation work across multiple classroom buildings, nearing completion of the third new classroom building, ongoing upgrades at the Administration Building, and progress in constructing an advanced Auditorium, now 80% complete to accommodate over 600 individuals.
The revitalization project at Dominica Grammar School, anticipated to be completed by May 2025, aims to establish new benchmarks in educational infrastructure. Stakeholders and the community eagerly await the unveiling of these enhanced facilities, which are expected to elevate the school’s status as a pillar of educational excellence in the Caribbean region.
As progress continues, stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed through official channels, witnessing firsthand the transformation of Dominica Grammar School into a modern educational hub supported by forward-thinking investments and a commitment to academic achievement.
