Dr. Graham's Homes School

Dr. Grahams Home happened to be one the best schools in Darjeeling district along with St. Josephs and Goethals Memorial School when I was a student of Goethals almost 35 years back.
But after so many years I felt a lack in the positive vibes.
It is not the same as it used to be.
Still it's better.....

One of the best educational institutions not only from the region but whole of India. Established in 1900 it is one of the oldest schools in Kalimpong. Initially opened for Anglo Indian orphans, the school was later opened for all and since then it is providing quality education for generations. The location is tranquil and peaceful.

Perched on the very top of the picturesque hills of Kalimpong, Dr. Graham’s Homes is quite unlike any other school.  Proudly safeguarding the name of its founder and his ideals, this small island of hope and love looks with confidence to the challenges ahead, while never relinquishing the invisible threads tying it to Reverend  Dr. John Anderson Graham’s great dream that led to its birth more than a hundred years ago. Spread over an area of 500 acres with the School as its hub, Dr. Graham’s Homes has various departments – the workshop, the farm, the estate, the bakery, the central kitchen and the hospital – all looking after the needs of more than 1500 students. There is also the Lucia King Cottage which houses pre-school children and infants, the library, the museum, the gym and the art room. Imparting a spiritual serenity, the imposing Katherine Graham Memorial Chapel completes the holistic approach and environment that the Homes embodies. The campus boasts of two football fields, a beautiful swimming pool complex, three basketball courts and enough space for the children to play, enjoy themselves  and interact with each other. The Cottage System of boarding is unique and quite unlike other residential schools. There are seven Cottages for girls and ten Cottages for boys, along with two Hostels for the senior students. Each housing 35-45 students, the Cottages are a home away from home – children refer to the Cottage staff as ‘Aunty and Uncle’, and are encouraged to help with chores, just as they would at home. The Homes is committed to developing the strength of character, greater self-esteem and confidence of its students so that they may “walk this earth with dignity” whilst at the same time give of themselves for the benefit of society.
