Dr. C.T. Abraham, the eminent educationist and Visionary founded the College in 1984. His vision was to make it a different kind of institution, unique in its philosophy and functioning, a College with a difference. The College is sponsored and managed by the Priority One India and the Priority Educational Foundation, non profitable minority charitable organizations headed by Dr. Roy Philip and Prof. Mathew C Ninan.

The College, approaching its 26th year of existence has been successful in imparting meaningful education and effectively serving the community. A number of financially and socially backward men and women were the beneficiaries of this small College in the rural environs. The work scholarship scheme, fee concession and the policy of ‘ no donation’ by the Founder immensely helped the young people having a desire to continue their higher education. Money was never a constraint for any one joining Crossland College.

The College has now become an integral part of the Priority Highlands Campus, a hub of educational  activities and  a campus that provides education  from the Kindergarten to the Post  Graduate level. The Little Rock Indian School, the India Theological Seminary and the Heidi Home are the other institutions, in the campus.The students joining the college can pursue their courses in India Theological Seminary simultaneously.
