The Lawrence School
Founded by Sir Henry and Lady Honoria Lawrence, Sanawar is believed to be the first co educational boarding school in the world. On the 15th of April 1847, a group of 14 boys and girls camped at the top of the foothills of the Himalayas. They lived under canvas for some weeks, anxiously waiting for the first buildings to be completed before the arrival of the monsoon. Thus did Sanawar come into existence. By 1853 the strength had grown to 195 pupils and it was then the School was presented with the King's Colours. It was one of the only six schools and colleges ever to be so honoured in the entire British Empire, the others being Eton, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, the Duke of York's Royal Military School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Sanawar has held its Colours for the longest unbroken period. From its Foundation the financial burden of the School was borne by Sir Henry until his death in 1857, when the government assumed responsibility for the finances as a mark of esteem to his memory. Under these arrangements, control of the School passed from the 'Honourable Board of Directors' to the Crown.

I am pleased to share that I am at my post and thankful for your good wishes, the guidance of a most supportive and enlightened Board, a very supportive community, dedicated staff and the blessings of the Almighty! Indeed, it is not only most humbling but also a singular privilege to be entrusted this high honor. I am blessed and truly feel that I have arrived home, once again! The motto of Sanawar is Never Give In . This motto encapsulates the resilient power of our community and how much we can achieve when we work together. It is a powerful catalyst that will continue to power our vision of a braver, kinder and better world for our coming generations that we are preparing our students to create. This is the ideal towards which we all strive.
