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.
