Four Campuses, One College
A conglomerate of four campuses, namely Spalding, Cobbla, Mandeville and May Pen, makes up the Knox Community College family. The Spalding Campus is the business and administrative hub of the College, and it has completed extensive physical expansion over the years. Each campus boasts classrooms, laboratories, an administrative building, a health and wellness centre, a library, and sanitary conveniences, among other facilities necessary for conducive learning.
Knox Community College as a coeducational institution founded on Christian principles, provides quality educational and training opportunities that empower individuals to become successful citizens in a global community.
"At Knox Community College, we believe education must do more than open doors. It must build capacity, strengthen communities, and prepare our students to lead with competence, integrity, and purpose."
