History

Under the direction of Archbishop Thomas Joseph Brosnahan, Christ the King College was founded and built by Roman Catholic missionaries of the Holy Ghost Order led by Reverend Michael Corbett of Mitchelstown, County Cork, Ireland.

The school itself was founded by Mother Marie Louise De Meester in 1954. When the first students arrived, Archbishop Joseph Ganda,[1] who was a Deacon at the time, was a French teacher at the school.

The original site later became the St Francis Primary School.

Because of the schools reputation it became the favorite of Sierra Leone's most prominent families and it soon saw the children of paramount chiefs and politicians among its student body earning it the moniker "The Royal College of the South".
