It is a co-educational school that offers both day and boarding facilities. We have a wide range of academic and practical subjects at both Ordinary and Advanced level. We place a strong emphasis on physical and social development and therefore provide different sporting and cultural activities such as rugby, cricket, soccer, basketball, hockey, netball, tennis, athletics, swimming, chess, public speaking, debating, drama, choir and scripture union. We believe that all students can have a happy and fruitful experience here, whatever their ability and the route they desire to take. We invite you to find out more on what Jameson High School can offer. Background History The high school was established in 1951 and since then has been a school of national and international repute. It is a government school which therefore derives its modus operandi from the District and Regional Offices. The school has income in the form of tuition fees and levies which are controlled by central government. The levies though inadequate are used for maintenance of infrastructure, fulfilling of all sporting fixtures and payment of all non-teaching staff who have become the burden of the SDA since the government’s sub-contracting exercise. As years passed, it became apparent that natural wear and tear would have its toll on infrastructure, equipment and machinery at the school. It is against this background that Jameson is embarking on a number income generating projects focusing on revamping the whole system.
