History

The school was established as part of a wider project initiative of the Anglican Diocese in Trinidad and Tobago for the provision of secondary education. The Church pooled is resources with the Government and private sector organizations, whilst the land and construction services for the project were procured from Home Construction Limited. [1]

Since its establishment in 2001, BAHSE has promoted the tenets of Anglicanism and Christian values as a pathway to enriching the scholastic, moral and spiritual lives of students, with St Clare of Assisi being the Patron Saint. BAHSE is one of eight secondary schools (8) under the purview of the Bishop Anstey Association.

The school shares a campus of nineteen acres of land space with Trinity College East and collectively, these two schools are referred to as Bishop Anstey & Trinity College East (BATCE). Pride is taken in maintaining a clean, safe and positive environment conducive to teaching and learning and the all-round development of students.

As a seven-year school, BATCE prepares students for the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate known as “CSEC” at 5th Form and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) level examinations at 6th Form level.

BAHSE has evolved into an educational institution renowned for its academic as well as extra-curricular excellence where students are provided with a disciplined and caring environment that fosters self-confidence, intellectual curiosity and a life-long love for learning that will enable students to face the challenges that lie ahead.

BATCE celebrated its ten-year anniversary in 2011 by hosting a series of celebratory activities, including its annual Carnival, Soca 4 U. [2]

BAHSEs current Principal is Kheisha Nicholls. [3]
