Hampton School is an all-girls boarding school located in Malvern, Jamaica. It is one of the oldest boarding schools in Jamaica,[1] and was founded in 1858, two years after its all boys counterpart Munro College. The school was originally named Fort-Rose,[1] and was constructed from funds received from the Munro and Dickenson Trust.[1][2][3] The school's motto is in Latin, "Summa Virtute Et Humanitate", which means: "With Utmost Courage and Courtesy".[3]
