Saint Mary's College is a high school located in Above Rocks in Saint Catherine, Jamaica.[1] It was founded in 1955 by its first principal, Father Edmund Cheney S.J. of St. Mary's Mission Catholic church.
Currently, about 1000 students are enrolled.
Like other Jamaican secondary schools, Saint Mary's College uses a selection process to accept students starting at seventh grade. Students must pass the Grade Six Achievement Test (formerly known as the Common Entrance Examination), and the Grade Nine Achievement Test.
