Christel House Jamaica

Opened in 2020, Christel House Jamaica is a non-profit, tuition-free school that removes the barriers to education for our students who come from some of the most violent and underserved communities in St. Catherine. By adding transportation, breakfast and lunch, books and supplies, uniforms and more, we are disrupting the cycle of generational poverty for our students and their families, creating a ripple effect in their communities.nLocated in Twickenham Park, Spanish Town, St. Catherine, we are transforming the lives of children experiencing poverty through a holistic approach. We currently serve more than 470 students from Kindergarten through Grade 7 within an 8-mile radius of our school.
