Classes begin at Mount Pleasant Academy in St Ann

by September 18th, 2018

Today  is  the  first  day  of  school  for  53  residential  students  as  the  New  Mount  Pleasant  Football  Academy  opens  its  doors  at  Mount  Pleasant  in  St.  Ann.

The  youngsters who  are  all  down  to  benefit  from scholarship  based  tuition  arrived  at  the  facility  yesterday  along  with   staff  members  ahead  of  the  start  of  classes  this  morning.

The  unique  blend  of  football and academia for  which  the  academy  caters  will  see  the  total  number  of  students  moving  to   300  in 4  years.

The institution will  be  offering all  the  major  subjects  done at the CSEC  and  city  and guilds  level and  eventually  the  cape  level.

Principal Vannie  Clarke  says  this  is  the  best  thing  to  have  happened  to  football  in  Jamaica  since  the  1998  World  Cup  qualification.

In  addition  to   their  development  as  players, all  the  boys  will  be  educated  in the  areas  of  officiating  and  football  management.
