Improvements for students at Castries Anglican Infant School

Published on November 10, 2025

Students at Castries Anglican Infant School are enjoying key infrastructure upgrades this school year following an investment of over XCD$100,000 by the Sandals Foundation in their digital learning and playground facilities.

As part of a Caribbean-wide investment in renewable energy and closing the digital divide, the Sandals Foundation has installed a solar-powered system at the Castries Anglican Infant School – providing its approximately 200 students with an uninterrupted source of energy to power its computer lab.

The renewable energy infrastructure which is valued at just over XCD $30,000 is complemented by a donation of some 10 desktop computers from Sandals Resorts loyal guests – The Tarrs family, bringing the total value of the digital learning investment to just over XCD $62,000.

“The 2025-2026 academic year has been a great year for our students here,” says Principal Christine Merville, “Any school operating without a furnished computer lab is operating in another century. We all know how important technology is to us as a society. Today’s children are very verse in using digital devices and it is important for schools to be able to reach them in that medium. These new computers will help us greatly.”
