Our Bishop Cotton School campus is set in 35 acres of secure land surrounded by a forest. The school site was chosen by Bishop George Cotton himself as the perfect location to start a school in the mountains in 1859.
Bishop Cotton School is an institution rooted in history and tradition. Over decades, its alumni have included some of the most distinguished men in India and elsewhere. From the uniformed services to administrators, from businessmen and industrialists, to authors and actors.
Bishop Cotton School has nurtured nascent talents and helped them come to fruition. This is a school that provides a child with a firm foundation to look capably and confidently to a global role in the years to come

In the words of the school song: “And so from those who’ve gone before to those who’ve yet to come. We pass our motto loud and clear, All Evil Overcome”
