Bishops'

- A Communal Memoir

Bag om Bishops'

A small school of 400 souls in a British colony on the edge of a continent was, in the context of the world, an insignificant item. But in the minds of the young, and the aspirations of families, Bishops was a maker of destiny. _ Girls were selected early; from the age of ten or eleven, their future, or the esteem in which they held themselves, was set. Valued, sorted, and graded by whatever talent, intellect or grace, they were found to lack or possess, they left childhood behind them and woke to a new perspective of the world. _ Bishops', founded more than 150 years ago as a prestigious girls' school, has long been heralded as one of the foremost educational institutions in the Caribbean. Responsible for the evolution of women leaders, it went co-ed in the 1970's and still survives today, as Guyana advances in the modern world. _ A treasure trove of archival photos accompanies this memoir; former students recount their schooldays, pay tribute to teachers and friends, and delve deep into the events that shaped their lives.
