Coffee and Learn – P1 Parents Discover Our Lower Primary Programme
- Somersfield Academy 107 Middle Road Devonshire, Devonshire Parish, Bermuda (map)
Thursday, January 22 | 9:00–10:00am | For current P1 families
Join us for a friendly and informative morning designed especially for P1 parents. Meet outside the library with Janice Outerbridge, Head of Children’s House and Primary, to hear a brief overview of our Lower Primary learning approach before heading into small group classroom tours. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the Primary 2 programme in action, ask questions, and experience the learning environment your child will enjoy each day.
Our Primary Thankful Lunch brought students, teachers, and families together to pause, share a meal, and recognise the good around us. With CharacterStrong’s focus on gratitude this month, our classrooms have been exploring appreciation in meaningful, everyday ways.
Somersfield Academy pauses on Remembrance Day to honour lives lost and lessons learned. In our Montessori–IB community, peace is not just remembered — it is practised daily through empathy, respect, and global citizenship.
Somersfield Academy came together to celebrate its annual International Day of Peace, led by the newly appointed Student Leadership Council. The ceremony featured speeches by SLC President Dezirae Darrell, a moving performance of Songs of Freedom by Ameina Soares, and remarks from SLC Chair Yemaya Iris, highlighting peace, empathy, and inclusion.
Somersfield Academy is sharing student achievements across Montessori and IB programmes. CAT results were well above grade level, MYP students showed remarkable growth—including our first Bilingual Certificate—and 94% of IB Diploma graduates earned first-choice university offers, reflecting dedication and strong support of our staff.
The Montessori history curriculum begins not just with events and dates, but with an exploration of time itself. This foundational understanding includes practical lessons on telling time, mastering the calendar, and comprehending the past, present, and future tenses—a skill set that seamlessly integrates with their language development.
