The first brand new school to be built on Guam in over 10 years, the iLearn Academy Charter School, is set to begin construction June 11 at its Dededo campus site, the Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority announced in a news release Wednesday.
A groundbreaking ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Friday on the property site off Route 16, at 1700 Mendioka Street.
“It’s been too long since a new school campus was built on Guam so the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio administration is extremely excited about this project, said GHURA Executive Director Ray Topasna.
The school is expected to be completed by August 2022, in time for the start of the school year and the campus will have 900 students at maximum capacity, according to GHURA s news release, with a science, technology, engineering and mathematics-centered education for students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
