Carlong Publishers

We publish, market and distribute school books that support Caribbean curricula at the early childhood, primary and secondary levels. Our carefully crafted texts and books for general reading provide essential teaching aids and learning support for the student. Parents too, are encouraged to monitor their children's progress through our curriculum based texts and assessment series. In addition to developing its own publications under the Carlong imprint, Carlong also provides exclusive marketing and distribution services in Jamaica for textbooks and supplementary readers published under the Longman, Ladybird and Penguin imprints of the Pearson Education group - EMA Division. Our roots are Jamaican but our reach extends throughout the Eastern Caribbean and to the wider global community. For over 20 years Carlong has been developing textbooks based on Caribbean school curricula and reflecting Caribbean culture and traditions. Carlong's textbooks are widely adopted and recommended by Ministries of Education and schools across the region. Our secondary titles are well represented on the Caribbean Examination Council's (CXC) official reading list for various subjects. The Carlong brand is well known and highly respected in schools, libraries, bookshops and homes across Jamaica and in other Caribbean Islands. The range of students' texts, activity books, teachers' guides and general reading books, are distinguished by their careful planning, relevant content, sound pedagogy and creative appeal. Carlong is ever conscious of its role as a cultural agency, with a mission to record and transmit Jamaican and Caribbean culture and traditions. Carlong's books are therefore grounded in the Jamaican and the wider Caribbean's physical and cultural environment and focused on the children's needs, interests and experiences. Carlong cherishes its role in the development of the human resources of the Caribbean region.
