Prinicipal's Message

An educational institution of the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and the Americas, we recognize the importance of human development. Established out of the dreams, dedication, persistence and love for community of the late founder, A. Wesley Powell, the Community College has set the pace and standards for community colleges in Jamaica and has influenced others in the Caribbean.

We have established vital links with our community through association with neighbourhood groups and the private sector, and have been responsive to their developmental needs while creating opportunities to address the challenges faced by it's members.

The College has firm linkages with the University of the West Indies, The University of Technology Jamaica, with universities and colleges in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. We are constantly reviewing these relationships and exploring the possibilities of establishing new ones locally and internationally.

The success of the Excelsior Community College is due not just to the vision of its founder and administrators, but to the loyalty and dedication of staff members. Our graduates have moved on to other tertiary institutions and have made their mark in very important areas of our society and on the international scene.

In this very dynamic, global and competitive educational environment, the college is in the process of re-positioning itself to meet the challenges that have been created with the information era. The task is great but Excelsior Community College will succeed in its mission. We welcome you to explore our College as we commit ourselves to reaching even greater heights. "Age Animo".
