Jockey Club Ti-I College (TIC or JCTIC, Chinese: 賽馬會體藝中學) is a secondary school in Sha Tin, Hong Kong.
Jockey Club Ti-I College ('Ti-I' is pronounced 'tee yee', stands for Sports – Arts in Chinese) was established with funding of HK$84 million from the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. The setting up of a secondary school, which is not only focused on normal academic curriculum, but also aimed to develop students' potential of visual arts and sports, was proposed by Sir Edward Youde, the late governor of Hong Kong.
The idea of founding the school originated from the late governor, Sir Edward Youde. He proposed the setting up of a secondary school in Hong Kong which would not only emphasize academic performance but also provide an opportunity to develop students' potentials in sports and visual arts.
In November 1985, the Chief Secretary came to an agreement with the Hong Kong Jockey Club (the then Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club) that such a school would be built in Shatin. A total funding of eighty-four million Hong Kong dollars was established by the RHKJC and the Government.
The Education Department invited professionals and educators to form the School Management Board. The school commenced its operation in September 1989 and is now in full swing.
Jockey Club Ti-I College is one of the very few secondary schools in Hong Kong with a dormitory. The maximum capacity of the dormitory is 96.
The college is also the first of its kind in Hong Kong, in which students are to choose between specializing in visual arts or sports when they get in. The idea is to develop students all-around abilities and interests besides academic excellence.
The College has purchased 60 Chromebooks and 10 tablets in 2016 as their plan for implementing "Blended Learning @ JCTIC", the idea of combining digital technology to classrooms.
There is full wireless internet connection coverage in the campus with their Wi-Fi hotspots, and gigabit network connection to all teaching venues and dormitory, allowing staffs and students to access the internet for educational purposes.
