The Lawrence School, Ooty

The Lawrence School, Lovedale (formerly known as Lawrence Memorial Royal Military School, after its founder Brigadier-General Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence KCB) is a co-educational private boarding school in Lovedale, a small town in the Nilgiri Mountains of Tamil Nadu, South India. Lawrence proposed constructing a network of British Raj military-style boarding schools in India's hill stations to educate the children of the deceased and current personnel of the British Indian Army. Although Lawrence was killed at The Residency, Lucknow during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, his dream took shape and four such schools, known as the Lawrence Military Asylums, were established: at Sanawar in 1847 and Mount Abu in 1856, both during his lifetime; then at Lovedale, Ootacamund in 1858 and at Ghora Gali, Murree, in present-day Pakistan in 1860.
