History of The Lawrence School, Lovedale

‘The Lawrence Asylum’ was built as a memorial to Major General Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, CB, BT, LT.COL., ADC to Queen Victoria, KCB, who early in 1856, offered a sum of Rs.5,000 down and Rs.1,000 per annum if action were taken to found, at some Madras hill-station, an Asylum similar to those already established at Sanawar and Mount Abu. In February of 1856, a Meeting was held in Ootacamund to make every effort to carry out the project. From the beginning, difficulty arose as to the religious principles to be inculcated at the Institution.

Message From The Headmaster

​​‘The Lawrence School, Lovedale, nestled in the picturesque Nilgiris, has a rich and long history that spans from colonial times to modern-day India. Established in 1858, during British rule, the school was initially founded to provide education for the children of British soldiers. Over the years, the school evolved and expanded its scope to include all students.

 

During the colonial era, the Lawrence School, Lovedale, served as a prestigious institution, offering a British-style education to its students.

Life at Lovedale

The Lawrence School, Lovedale prides itself on being a 'Plastic Free' zone. Use of plastic is judiciously curtailed at all times and periodically teachers and students participate in cleanliness drives in and around the campus to rid the area of plastic waste.

Moreover, with the recent guidelines received from the Government of Tamilnadu, this initiative will be further taken up on a war footing. Therefore parents, former students and visitors are requested to refrain from bringing any plastic material (food packets, water bottles, soft drink bottles etc) with them when they come in to School. Please join us in our efforts to make Lovedale and ultimately the Nilgiris a healthy, plastic - free region.

 IGBC Green Campus- Platinum

The Lawrence School, Lovedale was certified a Platinum IGBC Green Campus by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), an aegis of the prestigious Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Formed in the year 2001, the vision of the council is, "to enable a sustainable built environment for all and facilitate India to be one of the global leaders in the sustainable built environment by 2025".
