Nestled within the Nilgiris in the Western Ghats, on a sprawling seven-hundred-and-fifty-acre green campus, The Lawrence School, Lovedale is an ideal place for young minds to live, learn and train in order to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

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.
