BVI SDA School

On June 10, the BVISDA School welcomes all stakeholders to experience a community where faith, learning, and purpose come alive. Every person who partners with our mission helps shape an environment where students grow with confidence, character, and God‑given brilliance. We look forward to sharing the hope, joy, and possibility that defines who we are as a school community.

As we anticipate the reopening of school on Monday, April 20, 2026, there are several events we wish to highlight from the end of the previous term. We begin with the BVI National Science Fair.

🌟 BVI Seventh-day Adventist School Shines at the National Science Fair! 🌟

We are incredibly proud of our students who represented our school at the BVI National Science Fair this past March. From innovative technology to environmental solutions and creative scientific models, our young minds demonstrated what it truly means to innovate with purpose and create with care.

🧪 Our Projects Included:
Students explored a wide range of real-world issues such as:

Understanding hurricanes and natural disasters
Protecting our coastlines with mangroves
Reducing plastic waste through water systems
Smart technology solutions like sensor-based bins and greenhouses
Sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly pest control
Water purification and microplastic filtration
Engineering safer roads and disaster preparedness systems
Exploring cutting-edge ideas like ionic wind propulsion

Each project reflected critical thinking, creativity, and a strong commitment to improving our community and environment.

Your hard work, innovation, and dedication have made us proud. Keep asking questions, keep exploring, and keep building solutions for tomorrow!

On Thursday, March 19, our entire BVISDA family—students, faculty, and support staff—jumped into the national tsunami drill! An exciting hands‑on experience and a powerful reminder of why preparedness matters. Proud of our community for showing up, staying sharp, and strengthening our evacuation plan together.

A few weeks ago, the Life Skills Club with Teacher Joseph carried out a fun and meaningful recycling activity using juice bottles collected from the children during the day around the school. The students washed the used bottles and creatively transformed them into beautiful flower vases. 🌸♻️ This hands-on project helped the children learn the importance of recycling while expressing their creativity and developing valuable life skills such as teamwork and responsibility.

🔬 And they’re off!

We’re wishing our amazing Science Fair Team all the best as they head to St. Croix for the NCC Science Fair! 🌟

With a strong delegation of 16 students, 3 teachers, and 3 supportive parents, we know they’re ready to represent with excellence, creativity, and confidence. 💡👏

Stay tuned for updates—we’re expecting great things! 🏆✨

🚌📚 Mobile Social Studies in Action!

Today, the Grade 2 class with Teacher Joseph took learning beyond the classroom during their mobile Social Studies lesson. They explored two exciting topics — Important Places in Our Communities and Historians and Historic Sites in the BVI.

The students enjoyed a tour of the city on the city shuttles, giving them the opportunity to observe and experience their surroundings in a meaningful, real-world way. They visited Noel Lloyd Park, the sculpture of Isaac Fonseca at the House of Assembly of the Virgin Islands, gaining firsthand knowledge of the history and individuals who have helped shape the Virgin Islands.

An experience that help them build deeper understanding by connecting what they learn in books to what they can see, touch, and explore within their own community.

Thank you to the parents for their continued support and encouragement, and special thanks to the Ministry of Infrastructure for helping to make this lesson possible.

From soil to harvest, our students take ownership of every step. Garden Club is hands-on learning at its best- shaping minds, strengthening hearts and building skills that last.

Venturing on field trips sparks student growth. Teacher Lisa Peters-Powell makes Agricultural Science fun. Form 1 explored Agri-Paradise in Virgin Gorda, a hydroponics farm, learning about sustainable farming.
