DIscovery AnD opportunItIes
our residence, AIsK, and Jamaica herself provide a nurturing place for opportunity and discovery for each of our students. the Belvedere house is a place where students eat and study together. It is a place where friendships are forged – not just among other students, but with teachers and the AIsK community.
Belvedere students have access to the best of Jamaica and beyond. At only 80 minutes from miami, families have constant access to the united states, and at less than two hours, students have unlimited access to the best beaches and mountains in the entire caribbean. From negril to the Blue mountains, Belvedere House residents are encouraged to attend outdoor events like scuBA diving, hiking, sailing, skeet, horseback riding and guided exploration.

“Boarding has been a relatively easy experience for me. I have endured difficult living conditions before, so this is a blessing for my family and myself. I have been able to integrate with the other residents, and I know that I am a valued member of the Belvedere House community. the academic program is very helpful; with the study hall system I have become more efficient in doing my work, and my grades reflect that.”
