Built on Eighty-Eight acres of beautifully forested rolling hills overlooking the Runaway Bay Ocean, Mount Pleasant Academy, embodies the epitome of the perfect blend between academia and sports. 
An environment  of fun, healthy rivalry, intellectual curiosity, creative, teamwork, and love of learning characterize our academy. Mount Pleasant is uniquely poised to provide the type of stimulus that will ensure boys who have a love for football is able to marry his appetite for the sport with his academic pursuits in a community which harnesses both in perfect symbiosis.

We prize equally, academic excellence and sporting achievement. We differ from all other high schools because we believe an education in sports is just as valuable as an education in the sciences. Consequently, we provide our students with opportunities abound to excel both in academic studies with a concentration in practical skills, human development, languages, and sport; furthermore, our boys are encouraged to develop independence of mind, alongside the ability to work in a team to achieve success.

The academy was born out of a vision to bring the development of Jamaica’s football in line with first world standards. Our goal is to help and encourage our boys to become a confident, articulate, vibrant young man with a true sense of self-worth, humility and integrity who will feel and be fit for a full, active, and personally satisfying life in the world, beyond school be that as a professional footballer, lawyer, farmer, electrician, plumber or entrepreneur.
