It stands amidst beautiful surroundings on the crest of a hill 6,000 feet above sea level, just a few minutes walk from both Coonoor and Wellington Railway stations. The mean annual temperature is 18.3 C and this salubrious and sylvan surroundings is ideal for the growth and development of children. The School has students from all over India and abroad.[1]

The school has also become a football powerhouse in the region over the years. The recent addition of an indoor basketball court and gymnasium promises future strides in basketball and other sports as well.
