I'm considering sending my children to local school either Campion College or Ardenne. Any Expats with experience in these schools?

I went to a reputable high school locally (and currently home school), and Campion College is the best High School in Kingston/St Andrew area for both girls and boys. Most of the 'good' schools' are either all girls or all boys (or private and very expensive for the average person). However, Campion -based on the annual CXC results has consistently placed #1. My niece attended Ardenne and that is also a good school, it is one of the top tier but only in the last 5 years or so I would say. There are other factors to consider too, but nothing too difficult to navigate by yourself or with minor help. Hope this helps! Contact me if you need any more feedback that I can help with.

Thanks Dianty for the great response. I eventually placed my boys at Hillel Academy. Campion did not offer an IB programme for my older son which is essential for us in case we move within the 4 years. This will be our 5th week in Jamaica and we are so far loving it..... well... the heat is a bit overbearing!1 Thanks and all the best.

Yes the heat is strong this time of year until September if you're in Kingston area. Hillel is a great school but if you would like private in the corporate area, that is definitely the way to go. Happy all went well. D
