Academics
A shared foundation, then your path
Every student builds a common core in Forms 1 and 2 — then, from Form 3, chooses a Business or Science pathway that fits their calling and gifts.
Forms 1 & 2
The common core
In Forms 1 and 2, every student takes the same foundation of subjects. This shared core makes sure no one misses the basics — and it means a complete schedule of learning for everyone.
Daily
Bible
Daily Bible class that grounds our learning in faith and shapes character and values.
Every form
Agriculture
A hands-on program in every form — planting, growing, and understanding where food comes from.
English
Reading, writing, and language arts that build clear communication and confident expression.
Spanish
A second language taught with a practical focus — speaking, reading, and writing with growing confidence.
Mathematics
Foundations in numeracy, problem solving, and logical thinking that grow with every form.
Information Technology
Computing skills and digital literacy for a connected world, from the basics to practical tools.
Belizean Studies
Understanding our nation's history, geography, culture, and heritage — with pride and perspective.
Reading Comprehension
Dedicated reading practice that builds fluency, vocabulary, and a lifelong love of books.
Agriculture runs in every form, so every student keeps a hands-on relationship with the land.
Electives
Explore a little wider
Alongside the common core, students pick an elective each term to try something hands-on and discover what they love.
Form 1 Electives
Choose one hands-on class to complement the core
Landscaping
Caring for the grounds, plants, and green spaces
Food & Nutrition
Cooking basics and healthy eating
Form 2 Electives
A new set of choices to go a little deeper
Graphic Design
Design, layout, and visual communication
Food & Nutrition
Deeper kitchen skills and nutrition science
Music
Theory, performance, and worship music
Form 3 & Beyond
Two pathways, one purpose
From Form 3 onward, students choose a pathway that shapes their senior years. Both keep academics rigorous, values at the center, and students on a clear path after graduation.
Business
From Form 3
Students who choose the Business stream as they enter Form 3 explore the worlds of commerce, finance, and enterprise — building practical skills for careers in the private sector and for managing their own futures.
- Accounting and records
- Commerce and enterprise
- Office practice and communications
- Preparation for business careers
Science
From Form 3
The Science stream takes students deeper into the natural world — biology, chemistry, and physics — with hands-on lab work that prepares them for health, research, and technical careers.
- Biology and life sciences
- Chemistry fundamentals
- Physics and applied science
- Lab work and scientific method
P.E. & Athletics
Training in sport, growing in spirit
Physical education is part of every form. Beyond the classroom, our students step onto the field and the court to compete against other Seventh-day Adventist schools across the region — bringing their best, showing teamwork, and representing VOPA with pride.
