Central Commerce was founded in 1916 as a school of business and commerce. Over the years it has developed into a composite school that offers a broad range of programs. Business studies remains a strong focus, and this program is now complemented by a full range of core academic subjects, computer classes, music, art, drama, and health and physical education.
