“If any of you are contemplating a calling to become a Christian teacher and take part in educating the next generation in the light of Christ’s calling, and want to be molded at one of the best Christian institutions in Indonesia, Teachers College UPH is the right place. God bless you!”

UPH (2008), University of Arkansas (2024) Director of Research at the Association of Christian Schools International Global Office
Debora Wibianne Paramitha, S.Pd., B.Sc., M.A.

“Holistic education is indeed crucial in the journey of shaping an individual. I never realized this until I experienced it at TC. The four years at TC were a time when I was molded from various aspects of life, refined to take on a significant responsibility.”

Steven Sutantro, S.Pd., B.Sc.

“Hello, I am Steven Sutantro, currently working as a Principal Consultant at REFO Indonesia (@refoindonesia), a company with a vision to build people for a better future. My education at UPH Teachers College (UPH TC) has greatly inspired me to see education from a more holistic perspective, enabling me to lead a team that partners with the Ministry of Education and Culture, Google, schools, and universities in Indonesia. We have equipped more than 100,000 leaders, educators, and students with digital skills such as AI and educational technology. As a content creator in the fields of education and technology, you can also get inspiration from what I do on Instagram @stevensutantro. Just as God equipped me at UPH TC, I believe your journey at UPH TC will become an incubator where God will prepare you to make a significant impact on education in Indonesia.”

“ITC will always hold a special place in my heart. The professors demonstrated redemptive teaching, showing me how to be a redemptive teacher myself. ITC has taught me that as a Christian educator, my calling is to love, teach, and minister to the students in my class. The primary focus of Christian Education is not merely on teaching content, but on leading students to Christ through our teaching and actions”

Namishka Rodrigo

“I am truly grateful for my time at the ITC and for the invaluable experiences that have allowed me to be the teacher that I am today. The professors exemplified what it means to be a Christian educator through holistic learning experiences and by genuinely caring for me; this is something I seek to embody today. My thinking, skills, and character were greatly shaped throughout the program as I grew to see the world through the lens of a biblical perspective. Working as a Christian educator today, I feel empowered and equipped to guide my students in a grace-filled classroom, encouraging them to seek Christ, pursue truth, and grow in Godly character.”

Namishka Rodrigo
UPH/Corban University Middle School English Teacher at Sekolah Pelita Harapan, Lippo Village
Ramesh Mahendra

“My time at ITC stands out as a source of enlightenment and transformation. Within ITC walls, I met friends, professors, and mentors who positively contributed to my life. Their dedication to holistic learning and genuine care for my growth lit the path I now follow. Life at ITC was not only an intellectual pursuit, but also a journey of growth in my spiritual life. Now, as a Christian educator at UPH college, I am equipped in God’s truth. I strive daily to apply what I have learned through the years challenging the worldviews, guiding my students to seek Christ, pursue truth, and grow in God’s likeness. I have also learned to see my students as God’s image bearers. The legacy of ITC lives on in me, a testament to the power of education rooted in the knowledge of God.”
