From the Principal's Desk
Dr. John Anderson Graham founded these Homes in the year 1900 after having toiled very hard for a couple of years prior to the opening. Who knew, that, a rented cottage as a home for 6 children would eventually grow into the Dr. Graham’s Homes we know today.

The year 2024 is very significant as it marks the onset of our Quasquicentennial Celebrations in the year 2025. Together we will be Celebrating 125 years of the Glorious existence of Dr. Graham’s Homes.
As we prepare to celebrate this historic milestone of having cared for, nurtured and educated thousands of children, many from extremely underprivileged backgrounds, we will continue to strive to be the School that cares.
Together we strengthen and build upon the Legacy that our Founders have provided. It is very important that while we evolve, adapt and change to the needs of an increasingly complex world, we continue to do the work this Great Institution was established for.
Dr. Graham’s Homes is not just a School but a complex organization which also provides employment both direct and indirect to large numbers and in turn is the source of sustenance to thousands of people. Apart from providing education we are an economy builder.

Amazing place. I have visited so many nice places around the globe but Dr Graham's Homes really a real home for kids to grow. What I saw during my visit on 2nd and 3rd November- just fantastic . Head teacher's help for admission process was beyond description, just efficient. One thing I can assure that I can not provide a healthy environment for my kids like Dr Graham's Homes. Whoever can please go and have a visit.
A true testimony of how, the love and kindness of one Englishman far, far exceeds the hatred and cruelty of thousands of Britishers. Back in the late 1890s, early 1900s it was a common practice for British officers posted in these parts to bear offspring with local women, and the children were then abandoned. Dr. Graham built these homes to give these kids a home, and education and more importantly love and care. Just to pay a tribute to this noble soul, you must visit the place. Currently you cannot go inside to visit the place due to covid related restrictions, but the authorities were sweet enough to allow me to take a couple of pictures and may my respects to Father Graham.
I studied here for over a decade, from 2010 to 2021, and I say with pride that this was the best school experience ever. I thoroughly enjoyed my school years, and now that my school years are over, I'm gonna cherish all these years and am gonna miss this school very much. The teachers are extremely friendly and qualified, and the school campus is big and beautiful. One of the best schools for a child's development. Period!
Homes is where the heart is💙
