THE OLD SUGAR HOUSE is located in St Peter, Barbados on the West Coast. It has magnificent panoramic views over plantation fields and the Caribbean Sea. Imagine doing sunset yoga by a large private swimming pool? The lounge and dining area overlook this amazing swimming pool and the sea, offering spectacular sunset views. This informal retreat was built on the site of an old sugar storage barn and has a long history. It’s a 3min drive to Mullins Beach; 5min drive to Local Shops; 15min drive to the Nearest Town; and for any local participants it is also quite public transport-friendly…saweeeet!
For International participants, this could be a nice getaway…a “vaycay ‘n’ learn” so to speak.
For Caribbean National participants, this program was also designed to help as many of you as possible to have the ability to take a Teacher Training of this caliber, without having to worry about getting a Visa to travel to places like North America, that can be challenging to many.
For Locals, Bajan Residents, you get the added bonus of not having to take so much time off of work and/or your family, as you have the choice of choosing morning sessions or evening sessions or both during the weekdays…giving you the ability to work around your work schedule and/or family commitments. As a local you also don’t have to worry about airfare and finding room and board.
