CTS College Private Secondary School

"As a parent, I wanted to create a school that I would want my child to attend. One that is safe, fosters a child’s curiosity, empowers him/her to learn and to think outside of the box, values the child, coaches and motivates the child, fosters interaction with other students, teaches morals and values, encourages creativity and innovation, is fun, and gives the child all the tools they need to succeed. It is the reason I started the CTS College Private Secondary School." - Ravi Ragoonath, CTS College Executive Director

Overview

CTS College Private Secondary School is ideal for students enrolling in forms 1 to 5 who are eventually seeking to write the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams. Our programme was developed to prepare students to write the CSEC exam in as little as 1 year.

Over the years, we have listened to the concerns of students, parents and employers and as a result, we have started the CTS College Private Secondary School which addresses these issues and creates an environment that makes learning fun, whilst encouraging students to think, learn and grow.

What makes us Different

At CTS College, our goal is to ensure the success of our students. To accomplish this we have incorporated a programme to include academics, public speaking, business skills and field trips, amongst other things.
