Founded in 1881, by the initiatives of the visionary first principal, Rev. G.T. Washburn, the American College began with only four Christian young men. Since then the institution has grown phenomenally in academic excellence and student enrollment. A pioneer in higher education in this region, the College has dedicated itself to training students to serve God and people. The College continues to attract students by offering courses that are globally relevant and equipping them with in-demand employability skills.
