  ABOUT ALL SAINT’S COLLEGE  
 
 
All Saints' College started in July 1869 with only 2 students and Miss Bradbury as the teacher. The school, which was called the 'Diocesan Girls' High School', started at 'Stoneleigh' where Ramsay Hospital now stands. It was then shifted to Petersfield, which now houses Balika Vidya Mandir, and then to 'Barnsdale', now the site of the Uttaranchal High Court. The school was eventually shifted to its present site on Ayarpata Hill in 1892.
 
 


In 1892 the All Saints Sisters, an Anglican religious order, took over the running of the school, which now became known as All Saints' School. The foundation stone of the present main building was laid in 1893. The Diocese of Lucknow bought the estate in 1915 and the school came under the management of the Holy Family Sisters.

  
 


The present Junior School building, which was originally the training college, was built in 1925. Again in 1945, on the departure of the Holy Family Sisters, the management was taken over by the All Saints' College Society, of which the Bishop of Agra Diocese (The Church of North India) is the Chairman.

This educational institution is an English Medium residential-cum-day girls' college under the management of the All Saints' College Society; registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860.

LOCATION & CLIMATE

The lure of the Himalayas is as old as the first human being to behold their majesty. For the people of the Indian Sub - continent the Himalayas have always been more than a mere geographical entity. We have peopled these mountains with our Gods and our legends, sieved our philosophy of life through the minds of men who went through the Himalayan experience while reaching out for Universal truths of creation.

Kumaon's glacial valleys and mountain peaks have time and again hypnotized travellers and climbers to conquer their heights. So distinct from the rest of the Himalayas, Kumaon still retains the relics of its pre-British era. The lake district of the mountains, Nainital's countryside unfolds a blue-green panorama of shimmering lakes - splashed with brightly coloured yachts, terraced slopes, emerald valleys and velvet downs.

Set over 1938 meters above sea level, Nainital rises up and around its large lake. The school is located on Ayarpata Hill, 6800 feet above sea level and about 600 feet above the Nainital lake and at a distance of about 2 kms. from Nainital town. The estate adjoining the grounds of Government House extends over thirty-six acres of forest-land; pasture-land, vegetable garden and orchards. The climate is bracing and the temperature variations are small. The pollution-free environment of this chaste abode far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife is ideal, not only for physical well-being but is exceedingly conducive for academic pursuits with all the advantages of being distanced from the distractions and adverse influences of city-life.
