ALEXANDRA SCHOOL

The Alexandra School was named after Princess Alexandra, the Danish wife of King Edward VII. It was founded on September 24, 1894 by George May Dalzell Frederick the Archdeacon of Barbados and the Rector of St. Peter for twenty three years... Per Ardura Ad Astra - Through difficulty to the Stars. The school's motto "Per Ardua Ad Astra" was established in 1929 when the property of "Merton", the present site of the Alexandra School, was acquired to house the school. The motto remains a guiding light for past and present students.
