Christian Brothers College, Cork (CBC Cork) is a fee-paying Catholic school under the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust in Cork, Ireland. Their sister school in Dublin is CBC Monkstown. The school scores well compared to the national average at both Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate level. The college's main rivals are Presentation Brothers College. As the two main fee paying all-boys schools in Cork, both share similar histories, student bases, and sporting & academic traditions. In the mid 19th century the Vincentian Fathers maintained a seminary at Saint Patrick's Place in Cork, known as the Cork Diocesan Seminary. In 1888 a new seminary with residential accommodation was completed at Farranferris, and the Vincentian ecclesiastical students transferred there. The then bishop of Cork, Most Rev. Dr O'Callaghan, invited the Christian Brothers to take charge of the St Patrick's Place establishment. The Congregation of Christian Brothers had been established almost 90 years earlier by Edmund Ignatius Rice for the education of poor Irish boys. Over the years, the Order's mission had extended to other countries and other social groups.
