Established in 1912 by Miss Mary F. Chapman of the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society, it began in a modest rented house with just a handful of students and staff.

Today, it has evolved into a thriving institution supporting more than 225 students, the majority of whom are full-time boarders, guided by a dedicated team of over 100.
