Notre Dame of Tacurong College

What Notre Dame of Tacurong College does

Notre Dame of Tacurong College (NDTC) is a private Catholic educational institution headquartered in Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat Province, Central Mindanao, Philippines. Founded in 1950 by Fr. Joseph Quinn, OMI, on a 5-hectare parcel donated by Sabas Buenacosa, NDTC is owned and managed by the Archdiocese of Cotabato and has been administered successively by the Oblate Fathers, Marist Brothers, Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena, and since 2002 by Diocesan Clergy. The institution serves students from Sultan Kudarat and the broader SOCCSKSARGEN (Region XII) region, offering a complete educational pathway from pre-kindergarten through college via the Grade School Department, Junior High School, Senior High School (opened under the K-12 reform in 2016), and three college units: the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education; the College of Business and Technical/Vocational Courses; and the College of Nursing.

NDTC's core technology stack consists of digital academic management infrastructure, including a Student Information System (portal.ndtc.edu.ph) for enrollment and academic records, the NDTC-LEAP learning management system (leap.ndtc.edu.ph) for online course delivery, and an automated enrollment system implemented under Mons. Antonio P. Pueyo's administration. The campus supports instruction with computer laboratories, a nursing laboratory, science laboratories, a Home Economics building, and the St. Jean Marie Vianney Chapel. Multiple programs hold PAASCU accreditation: Grade School at Level I, High School at Level II, Liberal Arts/Commerce/Education at Level II (with reaccreditations), and Computer Science/Criminology at Level I.

NDTC's revenue model is tuition-driven, generated through recurring fees across the Grade School, Junior High School, Senior High School, and College departments, supplemented by miscellaneous, laboratory, and other academic charges. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective students apply via the online prelisting through the SIS portal and NDTC-LEAP, with marketing conducted through the official website (ndtc.edu.ph), Facebook, alumni networks, and regional educational and athletic events. The institution has expanded its international engagement through a five-year MOU with National Chi Nan University in Taiwan and participation in the Hanseatic League of Universities network in 2026.
