INTRODUCTION OF DEPARTMENTS
Music Department
The essential aspects of melody, harmony, rhythm, and form are studied. Throughout the course of the year students will study basic notation, scales, key signatures, intervals, triads, cadences, non-chord tones, form, part-writing and analysis of a score.
Exceptional Education
Formerly the Student Support Department, the Exceptional Education Department at ESHS provides personalized support and guidance, ensuring that every student experiences a fulfilling and successful learning journey. The Virgin Islands' education system is committed to inclusive practices, rooted in the belief that students with special educational needs should be empowered to achieve their full potential. This support helps students transition smoothly into adulthood, enter the workforce, and pursue higher education or training.
In our department, we believe that every child can learn when placed in a positive, nurturing environment. We design Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and Intervention Plans to foster each student's success, both academically and behaviorally.
Our Aim:
-
To effectively deliver programs and services for students with special education needs.
-
To monitor progress and collect data to support decision-making and ensure students meet specific goals.
-
To promote a consistent approach to meeting the needs of children with exceptionalities.
-
To identify and provide appropriate services in the least restrictive and most inclusive environment.
-
To ensure equity and access to suitable educational placements through early identification and intervention.
Science Department
The Science Department is made up of a dynamic group of 19 teachers who aim to bring excitement to the sciences. In our department we have expert teachers in Biology, Chemistry, Agricultural Science, Integrated Science, Human and Social Biology and Physics. We teach students how to prepare for not only CSEC Exams, but also entry level college science courses by developing necessary skills and enhancing critical thinking. Our department teaches the entire school, a testament to how important science knowledge is in developing analytical skills that transcend the subject. Many of our teachers have over 10 years teaching experience and continue to inspire the future leaders of this Territory.
Math Department
We live in a scientifically and technologically advancing world, thus making it very important for students to be well rounded in mathematical processes. Being mathematically literate would give students the edge in acquiring one of the many careers or pursuing another discipline of which mathematics is a foundation or pre-requisite.
Foreign Language
Foreign Languages Department
Welcome to the Foreign Language Department of Elmore Stoutt High School! We offer students the opportunity to explore new languages and cultures through dynamic courses in Spanish and French. Our curriculum emphasizes communication skills, cultural awareness, and global perspectives, preparing students to thrive and communicate in an increasingly interconnected world. Our dedicated teachers provide a supportive and engaging environment to foster language proficiency and intercultural understanding. Join us in discovering the world through language!
Art Department
In the Caribbean, much knowledge and information are communicated through images and spectacle and the visual arts serve to interpret this information and build bridges to understanding the role of art in interpreting our contemporary, historical, cultural and visual world.

Technical Department
The Technical Drawing syllabus focuses on the development of competencies in geometric construction, descriptive geometry, engineering designs and graphics, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and construction drafting. These are geared toward the development of students’ spatial visualization, technical communication, interdisciplinary and employability skills. These skills are useful for careers in drafting, architecture, surveying, civil engineering, interior designing, design engineering and in the general construction and manufacturing industries. In addition, the programme of studies in the syllabus caters for those students who will seek entry level employment in related fields.

Physical Education
Physical Education as an integral part of the general education process contributes to an individual’s awareness and understanding of the elements and dimensions of movement and forms the basis for the learning of sport skills. Sport, on the other hand, is viewed as a vehicle for the enhancement of fundamental motor skills and the development of complex skills learnt through a properly structured Physical Education and Sport programme. It is governed by formal or informal rules that involve competition and may be pursued for recreation or reward while promoting healthy lifestyle practices.
Digital Textbooks
The LernBook is a digital textbook relating to the Virgin Islands Curriculum. The digital textbook subscription is available from the Ministry of Education at a cost of $ 125 per annum. It is a required for grades 7 - 9.
