After eight years of steadily adding one grade at a time, the SAV Inclusive Academy in Westmoreland is preparing to take its biggest step yet with the launch of its high school programme.

Speaking during the school’s official opening ceremony, Rockhouse Foundation President Anna Thwaites-Wallace said the milestone reflects years of steady progress and a commitment to providing continuity for students.

“Today's event is really momentous, we have spent every year since 2017 adding on grade by grade to the Sav Inclusive Academy,” she said. “We are now at Grade Six. In September, we will welcome our first group of Grade Seven students, our first group of high-school students.”
