Founded in 1967, Brightpoint Community College, formerly John Tyler Community College, envisions a success story for every student. The college, which serves 10 localities in Central Virginia, provides transfer; career and technical; and short-term workforce programs at its two campuses in Chester and Midlothian and through its online offerings. We offer high-value educational opportunities for students who want to earn a degree or certificate, transfer to a four-year college or university, train for the workforce, or switch careers. Our institution is part of the Virginia Community College System.
