Our Children are the
future. They should be given the opportunity to perform to the best of their
ability, academically and otherwise. Northern Caribbean University (NCU) is
committed and devoted to education at this level. From kindergarten to the
tertiary level, NCU plays an important role in education and development. West
Indies College (WIC) Preparatory School is just one of the four schools
operated by NCU. The Preparatory school
is adjacent to the university campus; it accommodates more than two hundred students.
These students are taught by nineteen (19) qualified and dedicated teachers.
These teachers are dedicated to the students every day from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm;
however, work does not end at three. These teachers will sacrifice going home
earlier just to ensure that their students receive some assistance in areas
they may have misunderstood.
