About Turks and Caicos Islands Community College - Grand Turk Campus
The establishment of a Community College in the Turks and Caicos Islands has been visualized and vocalized as far back as 1689. The rational was based on the desire to advance education in general and tertiary education in particular where the establishment of a local College would ensure that more persons had access to tertiary education.
Grand Turk Campus
Nestled away at the north-eastern corner of Grand Turk, on a firm foundation, there she stands. A symbol of strength and unity, a monument strong, a defender true, the nation’s hope restoring.
Those words from the school’s song of the TCICC aptly describes this treasure, this enigma, this melting pot, and yes, this repository of knowledge where the lands caress the turquoise blue waters that lap at its shores. Away from the hustle and bustle of life in town, our students find this campus an idyllic place and fertile ground to study, to congregate, to socialize, to fraternize, and to exchange ideas. A place that once housed ‘men of war’ has now become a heaven for academic enterprise, development, tolerance, and peaceful co-existence.
The sprawling landscape, dotted with shrubbery, the contrasting stately grey buildings, tell a story of a long-ago time when the manicured lawns and tarred walkways were traversed by a few ‘lucky’ souls. These now signal to islanders, great possibilities for growth, ownership, and responsible decision making.
Every day, Monday to Friday, at six in the morning, the gates are flung wide as a sign of welcome and opportunity for all. The welcome is so all-embracing, that many marauding donkeys have perfected the art of crossing the ‘cattle grid’ as they too come to join our college family. The wide gates also signal a ‘glad to see you, come on in’ to all.
TCICC is truly unique. It is a welcoming place that ensures that every student is comfortably accommodated. Competition can be very fierce at time, especially at the domino table or rushing to catch the bus. Lecture time on the other hand almost always challenges students to work a little harder. This is always possible as TCICC boasts of having the most sincerely committed and dedicated lecturers.
There is so much more to say about my TCICC, Grand Turk Campus, so let me encourage you at any time to stop by and give us a shout. Better yet, why not join us, and then, like me, you can boast and proudly say, “I am TCICC”. Hope to see you soon….
Providenciales Campus
The vison of the TCI Community College embraces the provision of “quality education for all sectors of the Turks and Caicos Islands.” The Providenciales Campus is a vehicle in promoting and driving the opportunities where students from around the nation could read for their Degree.
The history of the Providenciales Campus is wrapped up in the general history of the College. From the early days at the Clement Howell High School with that first batch of students who were eager to be a part of this historic venture to the move to Butterfield Square as the population grew, TCICC has been here to support the students in their educational pursuits.
The winding road of the College’s history of the Providenciales Campus then took it the Old Airport Road where the Campus was set up in the Williams’ Building. The present location of the College at 3 Success Way helps the College to meet the need of those who would like to enhance their education.
There are programmes from all Faculties that are offered at the Providenciales Campus with the exception of the Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences because there are no laboratory facilities at this Campus.
The Administration and Faculty welcome anyone who is desirous of pursing a Degree at the TCI Community College.
