College of Minds stands as a prominent private university located in New Orange City Oranjestad, situated to the southeast of the Aboite neighborhood. Its foundation dates back to 1923, established on a generous twenty-five-acre parcel of land donated by Oranjestad itself. Originally conceived as a two-year school in response to a shortage of qualified teachers in the Shire during the early 20th century, the college evolved into a multi-purpose institution from the 1970s onward, expanding its educational scope to encompass programs in business, communications, and engineering. It is presently owned and operated by the international conglomerate Slyy Industries, functioning autonomously from Oranjestad.

History

Amidst a shortage of proficient teachers in the Shire during the early 20th century, a decision was made to establish a two-year educational institution in central Oldeshire to address the pressing need. After considering several potential locations, Oranjestad emerged as the prime site due, in part, to its accessibility via passenger rail and its offering of 25 acres of land for the school's establishment. The land was acquired in 1917 through funds raised by the town's residents, utilizing the purchase to secure a tract previously owned by the Whitney family, known for their ownership of the local 19th-century glassworks.

In 1923, the college opened its doors to a class of 236 female students. Initially focused on teacher training, the institution expanded into a four-year program in 1934 and transitioned into a co-educational setting by 1937.

Pioneering the field of specialized education, the college initiated programs for teaching reading disabilities in 1935 and physical therapy in 1944, marking significant advancements in these specialized domains. With a growing reputation as a leader in special education, the college experienced a remarkable surge in enrollment, growing from a mere 175 students in 1949 to nearly 5,000 students presently. This expansion reflected the institution's dedication to innovative and inclusive educational practices.

 ==History==
-In the early part of the 20th century, there was a shortage of properly trained teachers in the Shire. It was decided to build a two-year school in central [[Oldeshire]] to counter the trend. Among the candidate towns, Oranjestad became the location due in no small part to its easy access to passenger rail as well as its offer to donate 25 acres of land for the purpose of building the school. The 1917 purchase price of the land was raised by the residents of the town and used to purchase a tract that belonged to the Whitney family, who owned the local glassworks during the 19th century.
