Kingston provides Mission families a healthy choice in educational systems. The American International School of Kingston (AISK) follows a U.S.-style curriculum, whereas the Jamaican school structure is based on the British format. In all schools English is the language of instruction. The school year runs from early September through late June or very early July and is divided into three terms, the Christmas, Easter, and summer terms. The Jamaican education system is divided into preparatory schools, pre-kindergarten through grade 6, and high schools, grades 7 to 13.
