Christ the King College is a boys-only Catholic school located in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is affiliated with the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE / ISC).
Christ the King College was established in 1940 in the Civil Lines area by the first bishop of Jhansi, Bishop Francis Xavier Fenech, from Malta, Europe.[1] Its first principal was Br. Leo (OFM, CAP) from Mahim, Bombay, who remained for 18 years.
In 1940, Christ the King College was relocated to the present premises of St. Joseph’s School Jhansi in the cantonment area under its first headmaster, Eric D’Souza. Initially, the school was affiliated with the Senior Cambridge system, although students were also permitted to appear for examinations conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Board of High School and Intermediate Education.
Recognition from the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE/ISC) was obtained in 1975 during the tenure of Tony Late, and the first batch of Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (Class X) graduated in December 1976. In 1977, the academic session was changed from a January–December cycle to April–March; the first batch of Indian School Certificate (Class XII) graduated in March 1979.
During the tenure of Augustine, several students qualified for competitive examinations including the Indian Institutes of Technology entrance examinations, National Defence Academy examination, and other national and state-level tests. As student enrollment increased, the institution was unable to expand within the cantonment area due to administrative restrictions. Consequently, a primary section was constructed and relocated to the Civil Lines area in 1978.
