High School Principal
Mr Karl Murphy
A very warm welcome to our High School, a thriving, forward-thinking community of more than 500 students from Year 7 through Year 13. At HS, we provide an exceptional British-style education, rooted in the rich culture, heritage, and traditions of the Cayman Islands. We challenge our young people to think boldly, discover their strengths, and develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Alongside academic rigour, our students benefit from outstanding opportunities across STEAM, technology, sport, the creative arts, leadership, robotics, and a wide range of enrichment programmes.
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
At the heart of HS is our greatest strength: our people.
Our students learn from a team of high-calibre, dedicated and highly experienced teachers, supported by caring and professional colleagues. Together, they create a culture of high expectations, strong relationships and genuine understanding, where young people are encouraged to excel and become confident, independent learners.
Academic Excellence
We set ambitious goals for every student. Our rigorous academic programme develops the knowledge, critical thinking and communication skills needed to thrive at school, university and beyond.
Teachers recognise individual strengths and needs, ensuring students are stretched academically while receiving the guidance they need to fulfil their potential.
STEAM, Technology & Innovation
The world our students will enter is changing rapidly, and we want them ready to shape it. Through STEAM, students connect Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics in practical, inspiring ways. They experiment, design, collaborate and tackle real-world challenges, developing the creativity and problem-solving mindset essential for the future.
Sport, Teams & National Champions
Sport is a proud and vibrant part of CPHS life.
From participation to elite competition, students have the chance to develop their talents and represent the school with pride. We celebrate our successful teams and national champions, while recognising the character sport builds: resilience, discipline, leadership, teamwork and respect.
Arts, Creativity & Enrichment
Education extends well beyond the classroom.
Our vibrant programme of creative and performing arts, clubs, societies and leadership experiences gives students the freedom to explore new interests, express themselves and discover talents that can become lifelong passions.
Developing Global Citizens
CPHS is proud of its Caymanian heritage and international outlook. Our diverse community encourages students to embrace different cultures, perspectives and experiences.
Grounded in Christian values, we nurture integrity, compassion, respect, responsibility and service. We want our graduates to leave not only academically accomplished, but as thoughtful, principled and globally minded young people ready to make a positive contribution.
The CPHS Advantage
The CPHS Advantage brings together the qualities that make our school truly distinctive: exceptional teachers, ambitious academics, innovative STEAM, sporting achievement, creative opportunities, pastoral care and character development.
We prepare students for far more than examinations. We prepare them for university, careers, leadership and life.
I am incredibly proud to lead this ambitious, welcoming and supportive community, where excellence is celebrated and young people are encouraged to discover what they can achieve.
At Cayman Prep and High School, we believe every child deserves to be challenged, well, happy, inspired and successful.
Give your child the CPHS Advantage!
