Top 5 High Schools For Girls in Jamaica And their History

5. St. Andrews High School for Girls
On September 21, 1925, the Jamaica High School for Girls, as it was first called, opened in the recently purchased dwelling house on an 8-acre site on Cecelio Avenue in kingston, jamaica. The Centenary Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Jamaica decided that this was a fitting way to celebrate its anniversary and in partnership with the then Wesleyan Synod of Jamaica, had started the venture. The aim of the school as set forth by the promoters was “to provide a secondary education for boarders and day scholars.” It would aim at the ‘Christian education of each girl keeping in mind the fourfold development: physical, mental, spiritual and social essential to equip her with a healthy body, a well-trained mind, religious habits and ideals, to gain her own living and to serve her community worthily’. The school started with 10 day girls and 11 boarders, but grew rapidly so that by October, 1929 when it was recognized by the Schools’ Commission for grant-in-aid there were 153 of whom 51 were boarders. At this time the name was changed to ST. ANDREW HIGH SCHOOL
