Graduation Ceremony is always an exciting and proud moment. This year Ocean Academy celebrated our THIRTEENTH graduating class of 43 students. Many of whom are the first in their families to graduate.
YOU, our supporters, have made every step of the way possible. Thank you!
While the graduating class continues to grow every single year, this year's graduating class represents a 65% increase over last year!! Many of these students depended on sponsorships from kind, generous people like you.
Please know that you are truly making a difference in the lives of these young people!!
July will be a busy month on our campus as we again host a Digital Technology Summer Camp called "Introduction to New Technology and Cyber Security Awareness". This opportunity is possible thanks to our partnership with Digital Silence (website URL below). Digital Silence is a team of cyber security professionals who volunteer their time and expertise with Ocean Academy to lead intensive specialization courses. The camp also empowers youth to develop employability and entrepreneurial skills. Last summer, they engaged students and police officers in digital literacy skills, digital forensics and cyber security awareness. This summer, the camp will extend to two sessions of one week each.
Ocean Academy is a leader in secondary education in Belize. Ocean Academy proudly hosted Honourable Minister of State for Education, Dr. Louis Zabaneh, along with his curriculum team to review Ocean Academy’s competency-based learning models. Ocean Academy’s administrators, teachers, students and a parent shared their experiences with the team. The team applauded the progress OA has made toward building 21st Century skills through competency-based learning and encouraged students to continue to follow their passion.
