International Primary Schools

Hi Chanelle, most preparatory school in and around kingston usually have a fair amount of overseas children. A few that I've considered were: st.Andrews prep, st.Peters and paul, Stella maris, Ardenne prep, quest prep, queens prep.
Of course most of these tuitions are above 500usd per term which in jamaica is 3-4months . My deciding factors was location, cost, facilities and of course quality of education. I ended up settling with obistan prep now,I had to make some trade off.

AISK is in a category all by itself. I have toured a few listed above and I was a little disappointed I was expecting quality class rooms with good finishings, update technology I found only a moderate quality. You should do a local Search in your area of kingston or check out those that I've mentioned your sure to find something.

I was worried about my son's interactions at school as he's usually reserved but he has settled in well.

As for primary schools I thought long and hard on that matter and after visiting a few I didn't have the guts to do it. Most of my family members advised me to send my son to one but with an average of 30-35 kids in a classroom  way over subscribe. Halfway tree primary, George headley I've heard mentioned a few times. There is a recent article in the glener about a survey which indicates that prep has a better chance of passing GSAT you can check it out.

Keep us posted on your decision all the best.

Thank you so much.

I will get my head down and do some research on the Prep Schools you mentioned.

Many thanks

Chanelle😉

Hi There,
I haven't lived on the Island for over 34 years. But I remember when I was child my cousin's aunt taught at a school named Hillel Academy. Many children from over seas attended this school. I'm not sure what the cost is, I don't believe its inexpensive but maybe less expensive than the one you mentioned. it was a very good school, and I believe it still is, according to my step mother who has close ties to the island still.
Good luck.
