Education in Jamaica is modeled on the British system. Private pre-school is available, with primary education for the ages of 5-11 years. Following this, the Lower School or Forms 1-3 caters to children from 10-13 or 14, and Upper School or Forms 4 & 5 with students are informally classified as Arts, Sciences, Industrial Arts and Business students. Sixth form is an optional, two year, advanced post secondary program. At the end of this course, students participate in the CAPE (Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Exams). Entry into Sixth Form is extremely competitive.  International schools can be the perfect solution for an expat student (multinational corporation executives, children of diplomats, NGO staff) in Jamaica. There may be some local population, but the schools are usually geared for an international student body. Schools follow a curriculum model from the US, UK, or France. Primary instruction may be any language (and multiple languages are usually taught), but it is usually in English or French. Schools provide similar standards of schooling around the globe, providing for an easy transition between schools whether they are in France or Vietnam. Schools also provide internationally accepted accreditation such as the international schools.
