Jose Maria College was founded by pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church, naming the institution after his parents, José Quiboloy and María Carreon.[2][3] The campus which broke ground in 2000 and opened two years later as the "Jose Maria Academy"[4] is situated near Francisco Bangoy International Airport.[5] It adopted its current name in 2003.[4]
Administration and admission
[edit]While its founder is affiliated with the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), JMC is non-sectarian in administration and is open to admission to any students regardless of religious background. It offers both basic (kindergarten to senior high school) to tertiary education.[6]
At the 2024 Senate hearings which tackled the alleged abuses of the KOJC and Quiboloy, the JMC were alleged to be promising KJC members scholarship in exchange for being full-time workers for KJC. The administration was also accused of withholding transcript of records from its ex-KJC students who left church.[7][8]
