Sir Arthur Lewis Community College

The Sir Arthur Lewis Community College is located on Morne Fortune, St. Lucia's "Hill of Good Luck," and is one of the island's most historic landmarks. This Hill of Good Luck was the site of numerous fights between British and French forces fighting for St. Lucia. Many of the structures are historic, as they were originally constructed for military purposes.

The Sir Arthur Lewis Community College started as a concept. A solution to the L'Anse Road Teachers College's overpopulation and a reaction to the need for larger and better educational facilities. To make this ambition a reality, a destroyed and barren garrison has to be rebuilt and revived. The idea of developing a complex of tertiary institutions on the remains of a historic military post was officially recognized and the decision was adopted in 1966 to protect for educational reasons specific structures and neighboring grounds on the crest of Morne Fortune (Hill of Good Luck) (Hill of Good Luck).

Five nineteenth-century military buildings were renovated with significant assistance from the British Ministry of Overseas Development to establish the groundwork for the Morne Educational complex. The first committee to study the integration of the Morne Education Complex was appointed by the Cabinet of Ministers in October 1979.

The idea of constructing a complex of tertiary institutions on the ruins of an old military site was officially supported, and a decision was made in 1966 to reserve certain buildings and adjoining lands on the crest of Morne Fortune for educational purposes (Hill of Good Luck). Five nineteenth-century military buildings were renovated with major funding from the British Ministry of Overseas Development to form the foundation of the Morne Educational complex. In October 1979, the Cabinet of Ministers established the first committee to study the integration of the Morne Education Complex.
