Sanawar has developed over 139 acres on a rural hilltop at 5,600 feet, forested with pine and evergreens, and is now a historical landmark in its own right. The estate is a veritable wonderland of rambling roads, vines, flowers, and native birdlife, with its distinctive red roofs visible for miles in all directions.
On a bright morning, the panoramic view of the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas can be seen to the north, while rolling hills lead down to the plains to the south. Sanawarian’s desires are focused within this idyllic climate, away from the distractions of city life.
The guest can see a combination of colonial houses, many of which are over a century old, nestled alongside more recent amenities that have been added to improve both the school’s functional needs and the current physical landscape. The 149-year-old School Chapel, with its beautiful stained-glass windows, is one of the oldest structures.
A Sanawarain’s life is incomplete without physical exercise. The everyday schedule necessitates travel between the 139-acre site’s various stages of dormitories, classrooms, dining hall, hobby, and game locations.
Any child begins the day with a half-hour of physical activity. This takes the form of the ‘Hodson Run,’ a 3-5 km run across the school grounds that culminates in the hotly contested Hodson Finals in April. Throughout the remainder of the year, the kids work on their mass PT movements in preparation for the Inter-House and Tattoo at the Founder’s Celebration in October.

The Lawrence School – Sanawar, established in 1847 and located at a height of 1750 meters on 139 acres of heavily forested land with pine, deodar, and other conifer trees, is the result of Sir Henry Lawrence’s and his wife Honoria’s vision.
