New private high school in St James working to create global citizens

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Founder and director of Integrated School for the Arts Jamaica (ISAJ) — the newest educational institution in the western end of the island — Natalie Morris says the plan is for the school to develop global- ready students.

Just weeks after the private high school opened its doors for the 2026/2027 academic year, Morris told the Jamaica Observer in an interview that it is already making progress towards that goal.

“Global citizens, that’s our motto. It means regardless of your ability, we want you to — even if you’re living locally — you should be thinking global…As we are living in a world where artificial intelligence is shaping the way we do business and the way we learn, I want our students to be thinking in that realm,” said Morris.
