The first recipients in Jamaica will be Vaz Preparatory School – Kingston, Lannaman’s Preparatory School – Kingston and Gideon Educational Centre – Portland.
Vaz has over 60 years of excellence that teaches, nurtures and motivates each child for life. Our philosophy is ‘A sound mind in a sound body with a sound soul’. This is a delicate balance of the academic training of the mind and that of the body through extra-curricular activities reinforced with the principles for exemplary moral living.
The Lannaman’s Preparatory School had its genesis in September 1975 at Montgomery Avenue, Kingston 10. A Private Institution founded by its now Director, Miss Marcia DeHaney opened its doors with only two students. With a student enrollment of over 300 students and a staff of 25 teachers Lannaman’s has become one of the best Preparatory Schools in the island.
Gideon Education Centre offers courses in leadership and social skills, writing and reading, mathematic, technology and environmental awareness. It is an inclusive learning community that nurtures our children, espouses excellence, utilizes available technology, and facilitates the professional development of our teachers.
