education : vision statement

Like other great educational establishments, H.O.M.E promises to offer a balanced educational program for body and mind, heart and soul; incorporating sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics, humanities, languages, arts, athletics, apprenticeship, and community service: “We are called to challenge the minds, fire the imaginations, and train the bodies of the young people who have been entrusted to us; to enlarge their spiritual lives; and to increase their capacity for mutual and self-respect.” 

“We will engage the larger communities of Kingston, Jamaica, and world of which we are a part. We will serve our neighbors. We will live fully in our city—Kingston—exploring its byways and playing over its terrain. We will learn its history and traditions, and what it can teach us of the arts and sciences. We will embody and celebrate its diversity.”

As a school devoted to world-class education, we seek to equip our students the tools of rigorous and passionate intellectual inquiry and self-expression. We care passionately about the ethical as well as intellectual development of our students, seeking to develop enlightened and engaged citizens: “We must lead them to distinguish between right and wrong and then do what is right so they can be persuasive and courageous citizens.”

“We intend to prepare students to learn confidently for the rest of their lives and to give generously and joyfully to others.”
We seek to direct our students’ attention to a broader, richer  understanding of human excellence through an inclusive and universal approach to learning.
