A Beacon of Spiritual Growth

St. Marys Teachers Training College stands as a testament to the vision of the late Archbishop Emeritus John Njenga. Founded in 1990, the institution was established to provide a sanctuary where academic rigor meets the enduring values of the Catholic faith.

Sponsored by the Catholic Archdiocese of Mombasa, we have spent over three decades sculpting the next generation of educators. Our journey began with a commitment to primary teacher education and has evolved into a multi-faceted center for professional and vocational excellence.

Today, we continue to honor our roots while embracing modern pedagogical techniques, ensuring our graduates lead with integrity and purpose in every classroom they enter.
