The spacious Common Room and Work Room are available to all students in both of the SGY years.

In both years registrationis mandatory, and that time is used for general administrative functions. Life skills and tutorial time is used for college guidance and for outlining college 'survival' skills.

SGY Academic Handbook

Andrew Whale Bermuda’s first National AP Scholar; pre-med student
As a first-year Life Sciences student at Queen’s University,
Ontario, Andrew knows all about new challenges: his first semester brought new surroundings, new friends, living alone — and taking university courses. Thanks to his AP studies in the SGY Programme, the latter has proven a smooth transition. “I’m accustomed to the level at which courses are taught,” he says, “and since most topics in the first year are review, I can concentrate on adjusting to university life itself. SGY and the AP system provided me with challenging, yet rewarding courses that were extremely successful in preparing me for university.”
