Adopting Schools

Bay Gardens Resorts has adopted the Monchy School and Gros Islet Schools and currently runs a feeding program for the students. This initiative seeks to assist families by alleviating the burden of parents and guardians as well as reducing absenteeism in the schools we serve. Throughout the years we have fostered partnerships with local and international brands who have supported our cause by donating school supplies.
