With a rich history spanning over a century, our school has been faithfully serving the Mile End District community, nurturing young minds and laying strong foundations for lifelong learning. Currently housed in the downstairs of the Mile End New Testament Church of God Church in Ocho Rios P.O., our institution embodies the perfect blend of academic excellence and Christian values.
