“ It’s wonderful to learn that we are ranked India’s #1 vintage legacy

girls boarding school for the second consecutive year. As one of
the oldest girls boarding schools in India, we believe in provid-
ing holistic education rooted in tradition and values. Our objective is
to enable students to develop analytical minds, intellectual curiosity,
moral integrity, and disciplined lifestyles. While I am happy to note that
we have been awarded good scores on all parameters, I am especially
pleased with our top scores for pastoral care and mental and emotional
well-being. This is the foundation of academic success and personal
growth.” — Anjina Richards, Principal, All Saints’ College, Naini-
tal (estb.1869, 495 students and 47 teachers)
