2021-2022 School Year
2022 GRADUATIONS
Each year St. Kitts International Academy is proud to graduate students at the Kindergarten, Grade 8 and High School level. This year we were delighted to hold these events in person and to be able to celebrate and honor the hard work of all of our graduates. To our high school class of 2022 we wish you well as you enter the work force and Johnson & Wales Culinary School. One of our graduates was selected to be an Ontario Scholar for which we are very proud! Although there are only two graduates we know you will accomplish great things.
Donuts with Dad (Father's Day Event)
Similar to the wonderful time we had honoring our moms.... we were also able to celebrate our dads! Campus was opened up so that our dads could come and have quality time with their children to celebrate Father's Day and the important role they play in the life of their children. It was wonderful to have so many of our dads in attendance and to see such bright smiles abound!
Adventures on the High Seas for Grades 8-10
Our grades 8-10 students boarded sailing vessel J'Ouvert from the Blue Water Safaris fleet for an amazing half day sail and snorkel. They enjoy the beautiful views, snorkeling, food and dancing as they kicked off their shoes for a day of much needed fun and time with their classmates. It was a wonderful field trip.
Grades Prek - 3 Field Trip on the Scenic Railway
Students boarded the Scenic Railway and headed around the island to take in some wonderful vistas of our beautiful island. The children were delighted to be on the train and enjoy some fun outside of the classroom.
Muffins with Mom
Mother's Day Event
This year we were able to finally host our Mother's Day Event, Muffins with Mom. This is an old SKI event that has been off our calendar for quite sometime and after more delays with Covid, this year we were finally able to bring it back in a modified way. Moms were invited to campus and to bring a picnic breakfast to share with their children. It was the first time we opened out campus up since Covid and it was great to have so many people with us to celebrate and honor our awesome SKI moms!
Spring Spirit Week
Student Council decided we needed some more fun and school spirit and hosted a second spirit week this year. The students had fun showing off their goofy and creative side in their outfits for the week.
Leap Into Reading
Annual Read-A-Thon
Be a "Super Reader'
This year we hosted out annual read a ton with the theme of being a "Super Reader." Students created super reader masks and capes, and read in their lairs. In addition, they did the annual read around the island activity as well. It was a successful fundraiser bringing in over $10,000 to put toward school resources. Thanks to everyone for participating.
Friday Fun-Day
April Break is upon us! It has been a busy year so far. We've observed our Covid protocols doing all in our power to keep our learning community safe. As the Federation is in a wonderful position with regard to our Covid numbers, we relaxed some of our protocols for a super fun day! The campus has been buzzing with excitement from a visit from the Easter Bunny to a bouncy castle and class movies.... everyone is having a blast! What a fun way to head off into a two-week vacation!
St. Patrick's Day
A little luck goes a long way! We were hopeful to find some Leprechauns with magical pots of gold on campus. Instead we found lots of green people! We had a fun day celebrating St. Patrick's Day!
'Trash to Fash' High School Activity
The high school students had a projects in which they had to recycle materials to make their own clothing. They then put on a mini fashion show in their classroom! The students really got to showcase their creativity and made some awesome ensembles! Paris run ways....here SKI comes!
Social Studies Fair
Each year we alternate hosting a Social Studies Fair & Science Fair. This year was our second ever Social Studies Fair. Students select a topic from one of following categories: Geography, Sociology, Current Events, Historical Events, Historical Sites and Cultural Traditions. They then work on their topics for several months gathering research and meeting deadlines. The final presentations are done in front of their class. This year our Fair was virtual, however we made recordings to share with families.
Valentine's Day
Spreading love is always a great thing. So we took time out to celebrate Valentine's Day by wearing red, white and pink and expressing kindness to all around!
Holiday Time
The Holidays are always fun. In anticipation of the winter break, students had a relaxed day of fun and activities. Included were making crafts and wearing holiday themed clothes.
Halloween
Halloween is always an awesome day to experience the creativity that our students have. This year was no different. We got to experience the fun-loving side of our students and enjoy the sights in our Halloween parade.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Each year S.K.I. Partners with the Essence of Hope Foundation to raise funds to support the fight against Breast Cancer. This year students wore pink to raise awareness about Breast Cancer and made a donation to the foundation.
Spirit Week
The Student Council sponsored Spirit Week to boost school spirit and to see the creativity of our students. The week was a lot of fun! The days were: Wacky Day, Pajama Day, Dress-Up Day, and Throwback Day!
International Day of Peace
'Pinwheels for Peace'
Each year we celebrate the International Day of Peace and stand for peace with students around the globe. This year we also participate in 'Pinwheels for Peace' in which all students on campus made pinwheels that were placed all around campus and spun in the breeze spreading peace. As an international, diverse school - teaching peace is a key component of our Social Skills curriculum.
Independence Day
While we miss many of our favorite activities from years past such as our "SKI" Rep Your Colors Concert and presentations from cultural performers, we were just happy to be together to learn in person and wear our colors!
The 1st Day of School
We are excited to be back in school to learn and grow together. Covid has given us our fair share of challenges but these smiling faces say it all!
