Tertiary Department/ Advanced Level Programme (CAPE)

Welcome to the Tertiary Department - Your Bridge Between High School and University

The Tertiary Department at St. Anthony’s Secondary School is a dynamic post-secondary programme designed to help students successfully transition from high school to university or the world of work.

Our two-year programmes OR one-year programme offer a unique blend of academic rigor and personal development opportunities, ensuring our students are fully prepared for the challenges and expectations of higher education and life beyond the classroom.

Academic Excellence

Students are enrolled in CAPE (Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination) courses that provide them with college-level credits and build a strong academic foundation.

We offer:

• A CAPE Diploma option – a flexible path allowing students to complete required general education courses and selected career courses.

• A CAPE Associate Degree option – a structured course of study outlined by the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) to earn a full associate degree.

• A Pre-College Programme – a one-year stepping stone designed to help students transition smoothly while earning transferable credits to university-level courses.

Please note: Most U.S. universities require students to also have passed their SAT examinations as part of their admission criteria.
