The School has ever been noted as an Anglo-Indian Protestant Evangelical School, where the Word of God is read and taught daily. \u201cThe unseen foundation of the new building was being laid on the solid ground of God\u2019s Word, the Bible\u201d were Sir Robert Stanes\u2019 words on the big day.<\/p><p>Sir Robert Stanes slept in the Lord in Coonoor in 1936 and is buried alongside his wife, Harriet Huntingdon Harris (1843\u20131901), at All Saints Church, Coonoor.<\/p><p>The School thereafter has grown phenomenally in every sphere of School education.
