Kingston College

Address: 2A North St., Kingston, Jamaica Clovelly Park Kingston, Jamaica. Phone Number: Kingston College was founded by Bishop of Jamaica, Dr. G.F.C. DeCarteret with Bishop Percival Gibson as the first headmaster. The school was envisioned as a remedy for the social deformity, where poor black boys were privileged to primary education only. The school, Kingston College, was created primarily to provide poor black boys, who otherwise would not have the opportunity, with a secondary education. The founder was convinced that there was a treasury of untapped talent among the black working and lower middle classes. Kingston College would nurture that talent and so take to another level the uncompleted process of full Emancipation that begun in 1838. K.C., as the school became known, admitted any boy, black or not, born in wedlock or not, who could satisfy the entrance requirements and pay the affordable fees. The school's motto is in Latin: "'Fortis Cadere Cedere Non Potest", which translates into "The Brave May Fall But Never Yield." Manning Cup - 14 Oliver Shield - 9 Walker Cup - 9
