St Hildas Higher Secondary School is one of the best boarding school Ooty, Tamilnadu. Providing top notch education through ICSE/ISC curriculum. It was established in 1895 established by the sisters of the Church Extension Association.  

Six candidates were presented for the Cambridge university examination in the first year. The school, like most of the older schools in the Nilgiris, was established for the children of clergy, officers, and planters in order for them to obtain an English education while remaining in India.

The school’s enrollment grew rapidly, and its wealthy patrons included South African legend Sir Hector MacDonald and Her Excellency Lady Ampthill. Letters from Sister Martha (one of the first sisters to run the School) contain fascinating accounts of school life at the turn of the century.

School Location

On a spur of the Nilgiris, it rises 300 feet above the lake, commanding a wide stretch of hills and valleys surrounded by tea and cinchona plantations, eucalyptus trees, grassy downs, and picturesque villas obscured by their shady compounds. A terraced lawn, bright with English flowers, slopes to the valley, while a hedge of camellias, sweet verbena trees, and towering daturas add to the place’s perfect loveliness, which is surrounded by large bells. Add to the ideal beauty of the location. Dr.Duham had purchased Sheddon House on behalf of the sisters.
