The Priory School is a school in Kingston, Jamaica.

It teaches kindergarten and primary education - and secondary education under the name Priory High.

The school was founded in 1944 as "The Priory House". It originally consisted of just one building, a former private residence "The Priory". This had been built in 1907 by the Governor of Jamaica Hugh Clarence Bourne to replace the previous building destroyed in the 1907 Jamaica earthquake. This previous building had been in use as a rectory and it was in allusion to this that the name "Priory" was chosen for the new building.
