The Scindia School is a residential school for boys, established in 1897 and situated in Gwalior Fort, in Gwalior. Historically, it was known as the Sardar's School and catered exclusively for the sons of royals and nobles of Indian princely states. It was only in 1933 that the school opened its gates to boys from all sections of society and was renamed The Scindia School.[5][6] In 2010, the school enrolled 606 students, with a teacher and student ratio of 1:12.[7]
History
[edit]
Housed in the 300 ft. high hill fortress of Gwalior, the all-boys Scindia School was established in 1897 as the Sardar's School by Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia I of Gwalior. The school moved to its present premises on Gwalior Fort in 1908 when the military school was amalgamated and an endowment fund was established. In 1933, the Regency Council felt that the institution would be far more useful to the sardars, the state, and the country if it were run on the lines of an up-to-date public school. It was, therefore, reorganized and renamed the Scindia School. At present, the school has a Board of Governors, presently headed by Jyotiraditya Scindia, a scion of the Scindia Dynasty.[5][8]
