Cornway has a student body with children of various nationalities from the Southern African region to as far afield as the United Kingdom. Cornway College was ranked as one of the Top 10 High Schools in Zimbabwe in 2014.
Cornway College was founded by Lovemore Kurotwi and was opened on 23 January 2006. Its founding student body was from a study group called Whitehorse Academy which was founded by Mrs S.M. Wenzel, the academy had a pupil population of 120 at the time. The name "Cornway College" was suggested by Lovemore Kurotwi Junior when he was eleven years old. His reason for naming the college "Cornway College" was "The college will bloom like a cornflower." The founding Headmaster of Cornway College is Edmore Mutekwe who left in 2008 and his preparatory counterpart was Mr Mpofu. Both Heads have left the school.
Construction of the boarding facilities was completed and both colleges started enrolling pupils who wished to be boarders.
The Senior College became a registered Cambridge International Examinations centre. This meant that the college could conduct the examinations for Cambridge International Examinations for Ordinary Level, International General Certificate of Secondary Education, Advanced Subsidiary Level and Advanced Level internally. Before this, Cornway Senior College conducted examinations at an external registered Cambridge International Examinations centre.
