Naparima College (informally known as Naps) is a public secondary school for boys in Trinidad and Tobago.

In 1899, the Mission Council petitioned the Board of Queen's Royal College in Port of Spain for affiliation with it.

Naparima College's campus sits atop Paradise Hill, overlooking the city of San Fernando in southern Trinidad.

The city's major landmark, the San Fernando Hill, towers over the college to the east; to the west is the Gulf of Paria.

Directly adjacent to the Grant's Memorial Wing and connected via a pedestrian bridge is the Science laboratory building.

Having undergone various remodeling sessions in the past few years, its design as of 2012 is the most effective for research and study purposes.

It has its own library staff, archives, Internet access as well as book rental and (magnetic card based) photocopying services.

Adjacent to the aforementioned section of the school, but directly joined to it, is an L-shaped building that contains a number or classrooms, an Information Technology Laboratory, storage room (neighboring the cafeteria), Staff Room (for the teaching administration) and the offices of the Principal and Vice-Principal and the Main Office.

The washroom and shower facilities available for the student population and visitors alike are located on the western end of the campus, next to what is the Form 1 and 2 Blocks.

Whilst overlooking the on-campus playing field, it consists of three levels, the second and third of which serve a dual purpose of hosting indoor sporting events as well as an Auditorium.

The main on-campus general playing field is located at the westernmost sector of the school's compound, and is available for use by the student population at any time before and after regular class hours.

The second and perhaps major playing field is located on the Lewis Street extension, San Fernando and being off campus it is generally out-of-bounds to the student population.

The courtyard or "quadrangle" is located in what may be considered as the heart of the campus and is bounded by the structure housing the form 4 and 5 blocks to the north, the science laboratory building to the east and Grant's Memorial Wing to the south whilst looking over the Gulf of Paria to the west.

This trend continued until the Fourth Form level where students were separated and grouped into classes based on their choice of CSEC subjects.

Naparima College tends to accept on average, eight external students into the Lower 6th Form Level per year.

At the end of three years, Form 3 students must sit the National Certificate of Secondary Education (NCSE) examinations.

Academically, the subjects offered to these students are extremely similar to what they were exposed to at the Primary Level albeit, a little more advanced.

Essentially, students at this level are exposed to all the academic fields of study offered at Naparima College.

Subjects offered at the Sixth Form Level: The President's Medal Gold is awarded to the highest performing student nationally in the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations(CAPE) each year.

Admission to Naparima College is determined by performance on an examination, known as the Secondary Entrance Assessment (S.E.A) .Being a Denominational school that was originally founded by Christian missionaries from Canada, the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad and Tobago (PCTT) has the prerogative of selecting 20% of the annual intake of new students into Form 1.

It usually acts as a yearbook and highlights the events which may have transpired during a particular academic year at Naparima College.

These may include academic and sporting achievements as well as brief summaries of extracurricular clubs and activities and special events such as the school bazaar or valedictory functions.

Normally issued to students during their Form 1 year, the Naparima College Handbook outlines the rules of the institution, codes of conduct as well as other information regarding school life.
