The George College was established as a part-time institution and started offering classes for the first time in January 1968. In 1976 the first full-time Principal took office and the first full-time students were enrolled. In 1987 the College moved to its current premises in Hibernia Street and in 1996 a new wing, comprising eight new classrooms, a new administration block and an ablution block was added.

The Campus operation offers full-time tuition and has established an excellent reputation, locally and nationally. A recent survey has also shown that most students have secured employment within a year of qualifying.
