CMC Aims
1. To offer an education of the highest quality for students according to their individual needs and aspirations.
2. To provide an education which encompasses the academic, physical, cultural and social requirements of the whole person.
3. To give each student sufficient guidance in preparation for subsequent studies at university.

Students are treated as mature, young adults and a hard-working yet informal atmosphere is created. Students are taught in groups of 7 on average and this provides each student with informative and focused lessons. Dedication to hard-work is encouraged and guidance is given throughout so individuals can achieve the highest results of which they are capable. With experienced and passionate teachers, students are presented with the highest standards of education whilst also enjoying their time here at CMC.

Croydon Metropolitan College History

The college was originally a tuition centre offering evening classes to students at mainstream schools who needed extra tuition for internal and external exams. By 2003 it offered full time classes for GCSE and A-Level students. Popularity of the college increased due to its high quality of teaching. The ethos of keeping class size low has continued to be beneficiary, enabling lessons to be focused and tailored to the needs of the students. The success of the college allowed it to grow and in 2005 it became Croydon Metropolitan College. The expansion of the college meant it could accommodate additional students including those from overseas. CMC is a DFE approved independent college and so students have the option of attending the college full-time, opposed to going to a mainstream school, or part-time for extra tuition.
