Students learning at Valley of Peace

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

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.

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
