Harrison College

Harrison College is one of the most prestigious secondary schools in Barbados and the Caribbean, located on Crumpton Street in the heart of Bridgetown, Saint Michael. Founded in 1733 through the bequest of Thomas Harrison, a Bridgetown merchant who intended it to serve poor and indigent boys, the school has evolved over nearly three centuries into Barbados' premier co-educational institution. Harrison College offers the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC), Cambridge A-Levels, and Advanced Placement subjects, consistently producing students who rank among the top performers in regional and national examinations. The school's distinguished alumni include numerous heads of government, Nobel Prize winners, and leading academics, most notably Nobel Laureate Sir W. Arthur Lewis. Spread across several acres in central Bridgetown, the campus features modern classrooms, science laboratories, computer suites, a library, sports facilities, and a rich tradition of co-curricular activities including music, sports, drama, and community service. Harrison College's motto 'Plus Ultra' (Further Beyond) encapsulates its relentless pursuit of academic and personal excellence.
