Students at the school believe in their motto, ‘Vita Sine Litteris Mors Est’, which means Life without Learning is Death, and this has shaped a proud ‘blue blooded’ school culture over the years.

Have a chat with any Manning’s past student and he or she will tell you that the school is the best in Jamaica – not just because of the institution’s  commitment to academic excellence, but because of a fun school environment that created long lasting memories. Some notable Manning’s alumni are Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte, Member of Parliament Dwayne Vaz and journalist Emily Shields.
