HISTORY of the School

The oldest record in the School is dated 1900 but the school has a story even before this date, so read on…

During the British Rule, the Province of Assam, which included Sylhet, the Surma Valley and the Brahmaputra Valley, was one of the remotest provinces in the country. It was only after 1826 that the Europeans and the Eurasians came into this Province and were employed In the Army, Police and Administration, Public Works Department, Post and Telegraph, Steamer service, Tea industries etc.

In the affairs of the British Government, the Church of England always played a very important role and so the Church also played a very significant role in the Province of Assam which was under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Calcutta since 1827. The Chaplians who catered to the spiritual needs of the Christians officers, personnel and the families became concerned about the well being and Education of the Europeans and especially the Eurasians children. They saw that the well to do Europeans families sent their children to Calcutta or England for education while the Eurasian children were sent to orphanages in Calcutta or Darjeeling.
