School History

Nestled in Montego Bay on Corinaldi Avenue, Corinaldi Avenue Primary School has been a cornerstone of education in Western Jamaica for decades. Originally known as Montego Bay Boys' School, its roots trace back to the 1940s when it occupied the site once used by British soldiers. Evolving over the years, the school transitioned to co-education in 1962 under the leadership of Mr. Wesley Hewling, adopting the motto "Every boy, my brother; every girl, my sister." This esteemed institution has produced accomplished alumni who've made substantial contributions locally and internationally, earning it the moniker "Mini University of the West."

Welcome to Corinaldi Avenue Primary- The home of Champions.

I am Deon Stern-Anglin, and it is a privilege to serve this noble institution in the capacity that I now hold as principal. What makes this journey exceptional and special is that I had the pleasure of receiving my primary education at this very institution, and I have also served as an educator for over 20 years.
The prestigious education that I was fortunate to receive as a student is what I am committed to providing for each child who walks through the gates of Corinaldi Avenue. In fact, their educational journey will be more advanced, as our school is embracing a futuristic approach. Our team employs twenty-first-century strategies to prepare students to become future leaders in their high schools and beyond.
