Founded in 1827 by the Church Missionary Society as an Anglican missionary school, the college has played a pivotal role in the intellectual and cultural development of Sierra Leone and the wider region. Located in the suburbs of Freetown, the capital city, the college is nestled amidst lush gardens and expanses of well-manicured grass, providing a tranquil setting for learning. The grand architecture of the buildings, with their dormer windows, large verandas, and balconies, exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The trees and greenery that surround the college add to its picturesque charm, creating a harmonious blend of nature and education.
