Jamaican students have once again demonstrated their academic prowess, securing top positions in the June 2025 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) conducted by the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC). The recently released CAPE Merit List highlights Jamaica’s dominance across various subjects, with students excelling in both traditional and non-traditional high schools. Campion College emerged as a standout institution, with Jonathan Harvey claiming the top spot in Accounting Unit 1 and Dominic Kyle Haisley earning the regional prize for Computer Science. Other notable achievements include Daniel Peart of Jamaica College in French, Keira Halliburton of Campion College in Geography, and Dajanae Dawkins of Immaculate Conception High School in Law. Non-traditional schools like Guy’s Hill High School and McGrath High School also made significant contributions, particularly in Agricultural Science. Jamaican students secured nine of the top ten spots in Law and achieved first-place finishes in subjects such as Management of Business, Animation and Design, and Tourism. The success extended to CAPE Unit 2, with students like Kayla Wright in Biology and Brianna Barrett in Economics leading the region. These results underscore Jamaica’s commitment to academic excellence and its ability to nurture talent across diverse educational institutions.
