Brief History

 

 

The Old Fourah Bay College at Cline Town in Freetown.

Fourah Bay College was founded by the Church Missionary Society, London, for the purpose of training Africans as schoolmasters, catechists and clergymen. The establishment of FBC was intended, to provide its pupils with opportunities to obtain training in basic skills and also to train its pupils who displayed the requisite aptitude as teachers and priests.

By the University of Sierra Leone Act of 1972,Fourah Bay College lost its autonomy which it enjoyed under the 1967 Act, and became a constituent College of the University of Sierra Leone.

Facilities exist for Protestant, Roman Catholic and Muslim worship.
