Jose Maria College Foundation, Inc. (JMCFI), or simply Jose Maria College (JMC), is a tertiary educational institution in Davao City, Philippines.[1]
Jose Maria College was founded in the year 2000 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 is situated near the Francisco Bangoy International Airport.[4]
While its founder is affiliated with the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, 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.[5]
At the 2024 Senate hearings, 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.[6]
The Jose Maria College's varsity team are known as the JMC Kings. The JMC maintains a men's basketball team.[7][8][9]
