History

It was founded in 1944 as "The Priory House" by Henry Fowler, a Jamaican Rhodes scholar, political activist and patron of the arts and educational causes. Fowler was Priory's headmaster from its founding until his retirement in 1973.

Campus

Priory 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 Kingston 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.

gollark: It cannot actually alter itself even though it can think about doing so.
gollark: Now imagine that it doesn't have any way to write to its own weights/source code but just gets given some inputs and outputs a probability distribution.
gollark: Imagine some hypothetical AI (actually not that hypothetical, they basically all work this way outside of training) which can think about and model itself.
gollark: There are weird visual quirks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollough_effect which persist for a while.
gollark: That's not actually guaranteed either.
