About the School

We trace our roots to the present Cathedral of St. Thomas at Fort, where in 1718, Rev. Richard Cobbe, Chaplain to the East India Company’s Factory at Bombay, founded not far from the Cathedral, in 1718, a small free school, where twelve poor boys were housed, clothed, fed and educated by just one master.

This Charity school, was the grain of mustard seed from which Christ Church School, Byculla and Barnes School & Junior College, Devlali have sprung into mighty trees.
