Motto: Caritate et Sapientia educare
(to nurture through love and wisdom) 

Mission Statement:
Church Teachers' College is a teacher training institution, under the aegis of the Anglican Diocese of Jamaica and Ministry of Education and Culture, whose mission is to train men and women who:

	Will be highly competent in the application of pedagogical skills.
	Will be capable of motivating those they teach.
	Have acquired a zest for knowledge so that they will be motivated to continue life long learning.
	Have developed positive attitudes, values and morals so as to be effective leaders in the communities they serve.

Philosophy of the College
The philosophy of the college is based upon two tenets: accent on INDIVIDUAL WORTH and accent on EXCELLENCE. In pursuing this philosophy the institution is guided by the belief that in order to achieve our full potential as human beings we need Divine Grace. We therefore focus on the development of the whole person, including the spiritual, academic, social, physical, cultural, aesthetic, religious, and moral aspects of the student's formation while pursuing excellence in all aspects of education.
