Boys’ High School And College (Allahabad)

Overview

The Boys’ High School(boys-high-school-prayagraj) And College,originally established in 1861 is one of the oldest educational institutions of Allahabad. It is located on a lush green campus of 13-acre in the heart of the city, in Civil Lines, at 4 P.D. Tandon Road bhs-prayagraj. Since its inception, the school has been a trail-blazer in the field of education and was one of the first institutions in the city to start co-education. However, with the passage of time, the co-educational character of the school was lost and teaching was confined to boys only (boys-high-school-prayagraj). In its glorious history of 151 years, the school has undergone several types of changes, in terms of location, (physical and academic), volume and status. Changes invariably bring challenges and problems, but the school was sufficiently resilient and buoyant and endowed with experience and maturity to weather them. It is a matter of great pride that even today, Boys’ High School & College is a pioneering institution in the domain of higher secondary education in the country (bhs-prayagraj). The government records and documents, available with the Archives Department, reveal that the Boys High School was started in 1822 near the present Curzon Bridge to cater to the need of the children of the European servants of the East India Company. Later, the school was shifted to the Allahabad Fort area bhs-prayagraj.
