Elite Private School Announces For Anapolis County

Plans to build a $ 62-million-Elite Private Boarding School with a Royal Connection in an Anapolis County, Delaware, are announced Saturday in Bridgetown, Nice.

It will be a franchise of the Gordon Station School in Scotland. Notice of the School include Prince Charles and his father, Prince Philip.

But on Sunday, the developer did not offer about the school will be financed. As well as, Prime Minister Stéphane McNeil said in an interview, the province did not make a financial commitment to the project.

"Gordon Station is one of those, if not the first, private school in the world," said John Ferguson, an anonymous county in Saudi Arabia, on the announcement on Saturday.

The exact location of the school, which will offer 9-12 monthly and cost about $ 67,000 a year, has yet to be determined, but Ferguson said it was nourished down to three sites between Anapolis Royal and Bridgetown. He said it was the first franchise of the Gordon Station.

Ferguson said it is a historical connection between Anapolis County and Gordonstone. He said the country where the school is located in Scotland is owned by the Gordon Race.

Mr. Robert Gordon was made a baronet for Nova Scotia in 1625, four years after Nova Scotia received his charter – a charter that was on display at Annapolis Royal in Fort Ann, Ferguson said.

"[Gordon] Received 16,000 acres of coast land in Nova Scotia. So it's a historical connection to the property and that's one of the interesting pieces that come together, "he said.

The school is expected to open in 2020, starting with grade 9 students. It will be built in Fazas to eventually accommodate 600 students, most wanted to come from Asia, Europe and North America, Ferguson said.

He said that the funding for the school comes primarily from European investors.

Economic boost

Ferguson said that the school would give the local area economically.

"The Gordon Station is to buy locally, to deal with the local meat market, to locate the local area, and to test how much of the local community needs," he said.

There may be some benefit from tourism, Ferguson said. He said many families with students in international schools will hire or buy homes in the area or stay for extended periods of time.
