About Grenada
Grenada is a Caribbean country composed of three main islands: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.
Grenada, also known as the ‘Spice Island of the Caribbean,’ is a colourful nation with tropical scenery and welcoming people. In addition to sandy beaches, spectacular waterfalls, and abundant spices, Grenada offers a high standard of living, with festive and sports events throughout the year.
Independent since 1974, Grenada is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Nations (UN), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), and the Organisation of American States (OAS). With a democratic parliamentary governmental system, Grenada is politically, socially, and economically stable.
The Grenadian educational system is modelled on the British educational system, and the population of Grenada is highly educated. St George’s University, located in the nation’s capital city, is one of the best offshore universities in the world, offers courses in medicine and veterinary science, and welcomes over 6,000 students every year.
Location
The islands of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique are located in the south-eastern Caribbean Sea, near Trinidad and Tobago. They are part of the Windward Islands, in the Lesser Antilles.
Grenada’s modern airport makes the islands directly accessible from London, Toronto, New York, and Miami.
