Terra Santa College
The Terra Santa College in Nicosia is one of the two ethnic schools of the Catholic Community. It has its origins in 1641 when a team of Franciscan friars decided to establish a school aiming to the promotion of diligence and virtue.
The school operated under the name of Terra Santa (School of the Custody of the Holy Land) in 1646 under the responsibility and protection of the Order of Franciscan Minor Friar which has its base in Jerusalem. In the difficult years of the Turkish occupation of Cyprus the school offered Elementary education. In 1936 it came in the hands of the British and in 1947 came back under the control of the Franciscan friars and changed its name to Terra Santa College.
Previously the school operated in the Paphos Gate area whereas from 1955 the school moved to the whole owned new building in the Acropolis area of Nicosia. Since 1913 the school programmes were extended also to the secondary education. Since 1970 a nursery is also operating.
Today the school is divided into three sections: Nursery, Elementary, Gymnasium and Lyceum.
On 28th January 2013 a cooperation agreement was signed between the University of Cyprus and the Terra Santa College confirming that the College will operate as a model University of Cyprus High School.
