Priory School (Kingston)
The Priory School in Kingston, Jamaica teaches kindergarten, primary and secondary students, the latter under the name Priory High. History It was founded in 1944 as "The Priory House" by Henry Fowler, a Jamaican Rhodes scholar, political activist and patron of the arts and educational causes. Fowler was Priory's headmaster from its founding until his retirement in 1973. Campus Priory originally consisted of just one building, a former private residence "The Priory".
