VIMSIA received a grant from the VI Energy Office that has enabled us to install our first solar system.  It is a total 6KW system that is on Building 8 of our lower campus.  Through the Energy Office funding, we have also installed a Web Box that tracks the activity of this solar system and provides real time information for our students in the classroom, and the rest of our island community (and the world!).  You can view our solar activity in real time below. 

Thank you to the VI Energy Office for your help and guidance through this process - we look forward to continuing our wonderful relationship as we strive to become THE MODEL GREEN SCHOOL in the USVI.  Funds for this project were made available from the United States Department of Energy, Stripper Well Funds, under Grant No. 05R410970.

VIMSIA Board of Trustees is committed to development of VIMSIA as a Green School.  We are continually seeking funds that will help us accomplish our mission of protecting our environment and teaching our children the importance of sustainable energy alternatives.  If you would like to a part of this growth by providing expertise or funds, please contact Peggy Hunt at phunt@vimontessori.com.
