Khandallah School
'Khandallah' means camp or resting place of God.
The School began in 1893 in a small public hall at the bottom of what is now Simla Cresent.
The present site was first occupied in April 1894. The School consisted of a large room divided by a folding partition to separate the older and younger children.
