Christ Junior College - Residential, Bangalore, is the residential wing of the Christ group of institutions, founded on the same educational mission that established CHRIST (Deemed to be University) in 1969. The college was created to extend Christ’s emphasis on disciplined, holistic education to the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), providing a blend of strong academics, co-curricular opportunities, residential life as well as day schooling.
The Residential campus is located on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway at Kanminike, Kumbalgodu (near Kengeri), on a large, green site of roughly 100 acres developed as part of the Kengeri campus cluster. The site was developed to offer a “home away from home” for students, with hostels, classrooms, sports grounds, and other student facilities laid out to support focused study and overall personality development.
Christ Junior College - Residential was officially established in 2014 as an offshoot of the Christ educational family to serve students from all over the world. From the start, the college followed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) curriculum while adding the Christ emphasis on values, discipline and extra-curricular engagement.
Over the years, the college has emphasised a balanced programme: rigorous IBDP academics, structured residential life, sports and fitness facilities, and a range of clubs and cultural activities. Its leadership frames the Junior College - Residential as part of Christ’s wider mission of Excellence and Service, linking its work closely with the larger university and educational institutions run by the CMI congregation.
