The Falkland Islands Community School, which opened in 1992, offers 16 subjects at GCSE level. Pupils also have the opportunity to take a variety of RSA and Pitman examinations as well as some locally certificated courses. All school leavers receive a Record of Achievement which identifies their positive achievements during their time at school. Young people are also funded for Vocational and Higher Education courses in Britain. A Further Education programme organised by the Community Education Officer includes courses in Word Processing, English and Mathematics to GCSE level, Spanish, Art and a number of other subjects which change from time to time.
Classes meet during school terms.
There is a joint public and school library which is located in the Community School. There is also a Sports Centre with a modern heated swimming pool which adjoins the Community School. The school year in Stanley is divided into three terms each having a half term break. It begins in mid January at the end of a six week summer holiday. Camp terms are similar but vary in accordance with local requirements.
