College History
Kardinia International College （カーディニアインターナショナルカレッジ） was founded by the late Yoshimaro Katsumata (よしまろ かつまた） who purchased Morongo's buildings, grounds, facilities and resources in mid-1995. It first opened in 1996 with 31 secondary students and 42 kindergarten children. This would grow to around 1700 students by 2009. The International Baccalaureate has been implemented at the primary school years level and at the Diploma level.
The word Kardinia is a Tasmanian Aboriginal word which means sunrise or new beginning.
Gotemba Nishi High School, also owned by Katsumata, is a sister school to Kardinia International College.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or history:
“Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
