Humble Beginnings
Munro College is a boarding school for boys in St Elizabeth, Jamaica. It was founded in 1856 as the Potsdam School (named for the city of Potsdam), a free school for poor boys in St. Elizabeth as stipulated in the will of plantation owners Robert Hugh Munro and Caleb Dickenson.
It was renamed Munro College during World War I as part of the general rejection of German names at the time, though the surrounding Potsdam district was not also renamed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1471796781968{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

Who We Are
Munro College takes its name from one of its benefactors and was established in the fashion of the British public school. Several of the boarding houses take the names of other benefactors or illustrious alumni. The campus has its own chapel and magnificent views of the Caribbean sea and Pedro Plains from its perch atop the peak of the Santa Cruz Mountains.[1]
Munro College is currently the only all-boys boarding school in Jamaica.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][thim-heading title=”Our Administration” title_uppercase=”” sub_heading=”Dedicated Teachers and Staff” clone_title=”” line=”” text_align=”text-center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”thim-no-margin-bottom”][vc_column][thim-our-team cat_id=”178″ number_post=”8″ columns=”4″ text_link=”Join Our Team” link=”#” link_member=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
