History

CTC was founded in 1958 by a graduate of Cambridge University Roger Osborne. The college’s original purpose was to provide tuition to children preparing for secondary school entrance examinations. The college was originally based in the Surrey village of Warlingham and moved to its present location in South Croydon in 1967.

In 1973 the college became a charitable trust, it is consequently registered with the Charity Commission.

The trust has three main aims:

  • To promote high academic standards.
  • To foster international understanding, welcoming to people of all faiths, nationalities and backgrounds.
  • To create an adult focused environment to prepare students for higher education

To date the college has had four Principals: Roger Osborne, David Wilson, (now Senior Advisor for International Relations) David Lowe and Mario Di Clemente.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    The custard is setting; meanwhile
    I not only have my own history to worry about
    But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
    Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
    Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
