[edit] Origins
Standing majestically on a hill, a cut above the rest, overlooking a small Never Never Land called 'Barlowganj' is the 150 years old Manor House, where live the Manorites. The times are a changing and so is St. George's. The school is committed to providing the highest quality of education to its pupils using English as a tool. The thrust and the emphasis is the same but it has changed with the best in education and infrastructure.
The school, an all-boys residential and non-residential institution, spreading over 400 acre of land was founded in 1853 by the Capuchin Fathers and entrusted to the Society of the Brothers of St. Patrick (Patrician Brothers of Ireland) in 1894. Since its inception, St. George's College has helped shape and reshape our country. (See: Alumni Success) It was opened in a cottage known as Manor House - the name by which the Campus is still known.
It is but one huge joint family of students from all over the globe, and from a wide spectrum of faiths, ethnicities, and world views.
