ABOUT GLOWING STAR ELITE TRAINING INSTITUTE
Founder’s Message
It is with great honor that I introduce Glowing Star Elite Training Institute (GSET Institute) to the parishes oft. Catherine and Manchester, Jamaica. I am a proud Residence of Mandeville and Alumni of Northern Caribbean University. The school’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that “A brighter future lights the way to success and a better tomorrow”; and is in keeping with our vision which is, “To provide a stimulating learning environment with a technological orientation across the whole curriculum, which maximizes individual potential and ensures students of all ability levels are well equipped to meet the challenges of education, work and life.”
We at Glowing Star Elite Training Institute (GSET Institute) believe that students learn best in an environment that combines traditional and progressive instructional strategies which better support their unique learning styles.
As a Jamaican Citizen, living in these hard economic times, I am sensitive to the needs of every family who are struggling to “make two ends meet”. But I believe that education is the key to unlock the door of prosperity.
GSET Institute’s academic programs were designed to uplift the community of Old Harbour and Mandeville and its surroundings. We know that “Reading maketh a man”, and so the reading program we offer here at GSET Institute is design for both adults and children, as it is our desire to make Old Harbour and Mandeville, 90 % literature by 2017. All of our staff are University graduates with optimum teaching experience and takes the matter of confidentially very seriously.
Our CXC/GCE classes along with our basic computer skills course will ensure that our students have expanded opportunities for future careers and, more importantly, feel connected to their personal history and culture as a means to self-agency.
Join us in creating a special educational space where relationships develop between teacher and students, family and teacher, and the school and community. Partner with us in creating a school where a sense of closeness permeates every relationship; where a shared sense of mutual caring and energized learning takes place. We know that students thrive academically when they are in a nurturing environment, which provides academic challenges and encourages them to explore their world; and we provide nothing less!
Warmest regards,
Dwayne K. Thomas
