Thomas Manning Building

Welcome to Manning's School website. This is an extension of our historic institution located in the parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica. The landmark building pictured above is one of the oldest buildings in Jamaica. Our history dates back over 270 years and the school has the distinction of being the second oldest learning institution in the country. (See our history page to learn more)


Manning's school is the pride of the community with an outstanding record of creating some of the country's brightest scholars. Our graduates can be found in successful careers or attending colleges and universities in Jamaica and around the world especially in North America. We also have an excellent Athletic program; there are also several groups and clubs at the school that students with interests can join.
Thanks to The board of directors, principals, teachers, students, alumni, support staff and the community in preserving our great history.

As a work in process. Please give us your feedback and suggestions so we can address your interests as we continue building the site.
