Church Teachers’ College

What Church Teachers’ College does

Church Teachers' College (CTC) is a private, Anglican-affiliated teacher-training institution founded in September 1965 in Mandeville, Manchester parish, Jamaica, originally as Mandeville Teachers' College. It operates two campuses (the main Mandeville campus at 40 Manchester Road and an extension campus in Brown's Town, St. Ann, opened in 2012) and enrolls approximately 600 students in its full-time day programme and nearly 300 in Continuing Education, serving aspiring teachers (Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary) and in-service teachers pursuing advanced credentials.

CTC's core product is academic credentialing through diploma, Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.), masters, and doctoral programmes, delivered in conjunction with strategic university partners including the University of the West Indies (B.Ed. degrees via the Joint Board of Teacher Education since 2014), Temple University (B.Sc. since 2000, Doctoral since 2013), and the University of Technology (Masters in Mathematics Teaching). Supporting academic infrastructure includes the Rev. Dr. Adlyn White Library (with EBSCO Host and ProQuest eBook Central databases), the Early Childhood Demonstration School (ages 3-6, established 1974 as a training site), and the Educational Assessment & Intervention Centre (opened February 2019 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education for special-needs assessment of children ages 6-16). The Institute for Excellence in Teacher Education & Leadership offers Post Graduate Diplomas and Middle Leaders Training, with exclusive NCEL certification rights for school leadership courses.

Commercially, CTC operates a tuition-driven revenue model with flexible multi-year payment plans and no publicly disclosed financial figures. Its technology backbone is the iSIMS student information management system (developed by iTech Innovations Limited), integrated with Microsoft 365/Azure AD for single sign-on, PaperCut MF for print management, Turnitin for plagiarism checking, and EBSCO/ProQuest for research. Distribution is primarily direct via on-campus delivery plus an iSIMS-driven online application portal. Governance rests with a Board of Management chaired by Rev. Franklyn Jackson, with The Rt. Rev Howard K Gregory (Lord Bishop of Jamaica & the Cayman Islands) as President and Dr. Garth Anderson as Principal (since 2010, the first past student to hold the role).
