Amber Academy

The Amber HEART Academy is a collaboration between the Government of Jamaica (HEART/NSTA Trust) and the Amber Group. The initiative is the first of its kind in the Caribbean and will engage unattached youth across Jamaica with skills training in Software Programming Operations at the Stony Hill Heart Academy. The training is a one-year residential program where students are fully sponsored and provided accommodations, meals, equipment, and education.

Amber MOEYI Academy is a formal partnership between the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information and the Amber Group to introduce coding from Grade 1 to 13 in every public school across the island. With this initiative, Jamaica has become the first country in the Caribbean and Latin America region to incorporate coding as a part of their national curriculum, teaching coding to students Every Week!

The Amber MOEYI Train the Trainers Programme provides their Master Coders not only to get coding education to the students but also educate teachers in code literacy to make them technically proficient at teaching coding. With an aim to educate more than 15,000 teachers, Amber MOEYI ‘Train the Trainers Programme’ will encompass all the primary and secondary level teachers from Grade 1 to Grade 9 and conduct 3 week intensive training.
