3000 feet above sea level, on the highest mountain range in Jamaica called Blue Mountain, sits another of the 9 Jamaican Rastafari settlements, called The School of Vision. Its founder priest Dermot Fagan is one of the 50+ adults and children living here at Zion Hill.

Unlike the Rastafari Indigenous Village, the School of Vision community does not suffer the effects of man-made deforestation - this is the benefit of building a settlement high-up, and away from mainstream society. The people who live here primarily follow an agrarian lifestyle and seek self-sufficiency, through selling root wine and ganja around town to bring in extra funds.
