Photographic Highlight of Riversdale Sabbath Homecoming Celebrations
Northern Caribbean University had its beginnings in the late 1800’s when Seventh-day Adventist missionaries from the United States of America started working in Jamaica. It was following the arrival of George E. Enoch of the North Pacific Conference in the USA on July 4, 1898 that the first conversations of establishing a school to cater to the needs of local church members started. The fruition of that dialogue was the 1907 opening of West Indian Training School, on the Willodene Estate property, located in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica. Following relocation in 1908 to a 507 acre property in Riversdale, in St. Catherine, and a temporary closure in 1913, West Indian Training School was reopened in 1919, this time to an even more favourable location in Coolsworthy, Manchester.
