We accept applications from November through April 30 for the coming school year. There is a high demand for admission. We recommend applying as early as possible as admission is on a “first come first serve basis.” Follow us on social media for the most up-to-date information.

Applications can be submitted online no later than April 30. Originals must be presented if shortlisted.
Paper application forms can be picked up from the security gate between Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and submitted by no later than April 30. Applications must be completed by the parent or guardian.

We accept 60 Kindergarten students each year (students must be 5 years old before the start of the academic year). We have limited spaces available for Grades 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Students must be:

• On PATH or eligible for the PATH programme
• learning-able
• live permanently within an 8-mile radius of the school (Spanish Town, Portmore, or Ferry)

We only process applications from students who live within our catchment areas as we follow specific bus routes when picking up and dropping off students every day. We must manage how early and late pick up and drop off begins and ends.

When applications open, you are applying for the possibility of a space becoming available. This happens when students leave the school or repeat a grade. This means that we do not know when or if a space will become available, or in which grade. We will only contact you if a space becomes available.

There is no cost to attend. The scholarship consists of tuition, transportation to and from school, a healthy breakfast, lunch and a snack, uniforms, books and supplies. Parents must commit to 40 volunteer hours each school year per child enrolled, and to participating in their child’s success.

Parental involvement, student behaviour, student attendance and academic performance are all required as part of the scholarship agreement.
