Briggs Preparatory School is a private primary school in Trinidad and Tobago. It was established in 1975, by the late Esmee Briggs, a former teacher of Bishop Anstey High School, and her husband, the late Malcolm Briggs, a former clerk at the Red House. The school caters to children ages 3–11 at which point, children enter secondary school. As well as traditional subjects, students study music, religious instruction, computing, art, and drama. ==History== Originally, the school started with seven students, and was located on the corner of Edward and Gordon Streets in Port of Spain (near Bishop Anstey High School). Within a year, the school quickly outgrew the space and moved to 167-169 Belmont Circular Road, obliquely opposite Providence Girls' Catholic School. Sometime after the transfer of the school, from the Briggs family, the school was relocated to Cascade. The Belmont building is now owned by the Trinidad and Tobago Retired Persons Association and is leased to Belmont Boys Roman Catholic School.

The pioneering members of staff were, Claudia Wilson (now Fingal) as school secretary and Rosemary Hezekiah (now Perkins) as administrator and bookkeeper. Along with teachers were Ms. Sergeant, Lucy Pierre, Angela Henry and Shirley Hinkson (now Baptiste). After the retirement of Mrs. Briggs as principal, Mrs. Marie-Michelle Conyette succeeded her as principal and developed the academic structures and systems of the school. The building at 167 Belmont Circular Road was a converted home, with a large lot behind, separated by a fenced-off stream. During July 1978, the yard was paved and the stream was covered by large wooden slats, allowing for more open space. Around 1980, the school constructed three additional classrooms, as the student population had outgrown the main building. The leadership mantle has been handed over to Mrs. Claudia Fingal as principal. She is working very closely with Vice-Principal, Mrs. Karen Samaroo-Daniel and the Manager Mrs. Sarah Wallace in the shaping of Briggs future. They have inherited a highly professional staff, very committed to Briggs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Briggs Preparatory School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
