Welham Girls School

Dehradun, Uttarakhand

It has progressed from being a School for privileged girls to being a School that prides itself in encouraging students from across the length and breadth of India.

A retired English head mistress, Miss Oliphant started Welham Boys School in 1937. Soon, she was struck by the lack of Schools of similar quality for the sisters of these little boys. Fired by the desire to create an equal educational platform for young Indian women in a newly independent India, she acquired a palatial estate called Nasreen adjacent to Welham Boys School to start a small boarding School for girls.

Miss Linnell became the Founder- Principal of Welham Girls School. Under Miss Linnell’s able guidance, Welham Girls’ High School, as it was known then, established itself as a full fledged boarding School in Dehradun, India.
