Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas over an area of 30 acres, this boarding school lies amidst the hills and rivers of the Doon valley. Students from varying backgrounds and from many different parts of the sub-continent and beyond, attend the school.

Founded as the Welham Preparatory School in 1937, by way of a small self investment, Ms Oliphant established an institution that in time would establish itself as one of the finest high schools in the country.

Ms Oliphant came to India in 1920 and moved to Dehradun, from Delhi. She resolved to start a preparatory school in this salubrious and idyllic town, nestled in the Himalayan foothills. The first boy joined on 15 January, 1937 and within a year, there were thirty residential and twenty day scholars. Grade 5 was added in 1941 and by 1945, admissions swelled and the institution stood on solid footing. In 1941, the school banner was carried for the first time ever in the Games March Past, and on it was the school motto: ‘From Strength to Strength’.
