Naparima College

Naparima College, informally known as 'Naps,' is a prestigious government-assisted all-boys secondary school perched atop Paradise Pasture in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago. Founded in 1894 by Dr. Kenneth J. Grant, a Canadian Presbyterian missionary, the school received official government recognition in 1900 and relocated to its current hilltop campus in 1917. With spectacular views of the Gulf of Paria and the city of San Fernando, Naparima offers an inspiring environment for academic achievement. The school offers the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), and has consistently ranked among the top performing schools in Trinidad and Tobago. Naparima College is renowned for its academic rigor, strong sporting tradition — particularly in cricket, football, and athletics — and vibrant cultural life including music, debate, and drama. Its distinguished alumni include national leaders, academics, professionals, and sportsmen who have made significant contributions to Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean. The school holds deep pride in its multicultural student community drawn from across south Trinidad.
