City College of Cyprus


Brief History of the City College

Founded in 1978 by Charis Charalambous, KIMON College was one of the earliest private schools of higher education to be recognised by the Ministry of Education and Culture. We have continued to service Cyprus’ needs for such an establishment ever since and our modern, dynamic approach to education coupled with our commitment to excellence have given us the opportunity to offer a unique educational experience to students from many nations as well as those at home.

KIMON College has a 30-year history of academic excellence and a rich array of time-honored traditions. Now, the College is embracing the future as well as the past with a new name and a bold new direction. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt the name CITY COLLEGE. We feel, as so many of you do, that this name preserves and honors our legacy, maintains continuity with our storied past, and positions us well for the future.


CITY Training Centre arranges specialised courses tailored to your business needs from tourism and hospitality marketing to customer psychology and effective communication between management and employees but our remit need not stop there - we can provide specialised language courses, English for finance, business, banking, etc.

KIMON Institute prepares nationals for careers in local government and the private sector. It also fulfils the needs of young learners - developing their computer skills and furthering their competence in the use of English.
