The History of Charis Works Christian Academy
Charis Works Christian Academy, (Formerly The Creative Learning Centre) registered with the Ministry of Education, opened its doors on September 4th 1984 at 5 West Sreet, Beaulieu Gardens, Tacarigua with fifteen students between the ages of two and a half and five years. In 1985, a branch of the school was opened at the St. Mary’s Children’s Home in Tacarigua to facilitate their preschoolers with our creative program. In 1990, the school moved to Orange Grove Road, Tacarigua, to its new self-contained, steel –structured building, expanding its doors to Primary and Special education up to the age of fourteen years. In the ensuing years, students wrote the Common Entrance/SEA Examinations and the results have been encouraging and astounding in some cases. In 2006, one student came in the first 100 students who wrote the exams.
Charis Works continues to draw students from the catchment area of Toco to Diego Martin, Couva to Trincity. It continues to be an Inclusive school and major plans are in the offing for further improvements. Charis Works has been recognized and acceptedby Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education, U.S.A.
