College of Minds, a private university in New Orange City, emerged in response to a regional teaching shortage in the Shire during the early 20th century. Founded in 1923, the institution initially operated as a two-year school, primarily focusing on training teachers. The city of Oranjestad played a strategic role in hosting the college, offering 25 acres of land for its establishment.

The college began its journey with a cohort of 236 female students. Over time, it adapted to societal changes and educational demands, transitioning into a four-year program by 1934. In 1937, it further evolved by becoming a co-educational institution.

Specialized Education Initiatives (1935-1944)

College of Minds played a pioneering role in specialized education. In 1935, it introduced programs addressing reading disabilities, showcasing a commitment to innovative teaching methods. In 1944, the institution ventured into physical therapy education, marking significant strides in specialized domains.

These initiatives propelled the college into the forefront of education, earning it a reputation as a leader in special education. The impact was reflected in the remarkable surge in enrollment, growing from 575 students in 1949 to nearly 5,000 students today.

Integration of Rainbow Mountain

Nestled at the base of Rainbow Mountain, College of Minds has incorporated this natural feature into its educational programs. The mountain's glittering central cavern has become a distinctive symbol associated with the institution's commitment to holistic and immersive learning experiences.

Casiopea Bridge Extension (2023)

A crucial development in the college's connectivity occurred in 2023 with the extension of the Casiopea Bridge. The main offramp now descends directly to College of Minds, establishing a swift connection between the academic hub and the Skylan neighborhood.

Present-Day Operations

Today, College of Minds operates as a private university with joint management by Slyy Industries and New Orange City. It continues to evolve, emphasizing innovation, diversity, and academic excellence across its expansive campus.
