The Jesuit Mission to Jamaica has operated two schools with the name Campion in the title in Kingston, Jamaica. Campion Hall Prep School was first located at St. George’s College in 1940 to prepare boys for secondary education, especially St. George’s, a secondary school. To accommodate increased enrollment and provide for boarding students, a property, Roslyn Hall, on 115 Old Hope Road, was purchased in 1942. On January 5, 1960, Campion College, a secondary school, held its first classes, using classrooms of Campion Hall Prep. To make room for the needs of the growing College, the Preparatory School graduated its last class in 1962. The 6^th form became co-educational in 1969. In 1976, Campion College ceased being a private school and became a co-educational, grant-aided school. The girls took their first seats (apart from in 6^th form) in September 1976. This was achieved by merging with Sts. Peter and Paul High School for Girls.
