spectacular natural surroundings creates the ideal environment for study.

Montserrat is amongst the chain of islands commonly referred to as the "West Indies" or, as the

original inhabitants called these islands, the "Antilles." The first recorded name for Montserrat was

"Alliouagana" given by the Caribe people. It is thought that the name was derived from a prickly

bush growing on the island...The island of Montserrat is a British Overseas

Territory. The Montserrat Constitution Order of 1989 vests executive authority in Her Majesty, which may

be exercised on her behalf by the governor.The educational system in Montserrat is based on

the British educational system.
