Serving Excellence Since 1981
The school was founded in 1981 under the visionary leadership of Mr. Raj Kumar Michael, Director of Ingraham Institute, Ghaziabad, under the aegis of the Methodist Church in India, as the city branch of Ingraham Institute English School, Ghaziabad. Established with the aim of extending quality, value-based education to the region, the institution began its journey with a strong academic foundation and a commitment to holistic development.
In its inaugural year, the school opened its doors to 100 students from Nursery to Class 2, under the able guidance of its first Headmistress, Mrs. Jasmine Paul. She was supported by a dedicated team of founding teachers — Mrs. Reeta Patterson, Ms. Sunita Embuldinya, Ms. Sudha Simon, and Mrs. Elic Masih — whose sincerity and commitment laid the cornerstone of the school's academic culture.
The early classes were conducted in the historic "Kothi," a beautiful colonial-style bungalow constructed in 1923. This heritage building not only provided a serene learning environment but also became an enduring symbol of the institution's roots and identity.
As the school grew in strength and reputation, its infrastructure expanded to meet rising educational needs. From its humble beginnings in a heritage bungalow to a multi-building campus, the expansion has been strategic and purposeful. The construction of the new school building in 2002 with modern Science laboratories marked a significant step forward in enhancing academic facilities, followed by further expansion with the third multi-storied building completed in 2022.
Over the years, Ingraham English Medium School has established itself as a premier educational institution dedicated to academic excellence and holistic development. What began with 100 students in a heritage building has grown into a thriving community of approximately 1200 students across all levels.
The school prides itself in having a beautiful green 3-acre campus, well-equipped with modern laboratories for Science and Computer Science, a well-stocked library that supports academic excellence and independent learning, along with 5 playgrounds and a basketball court. The school complies with CBSE safety norms including fire safety and CCTVs.
From its humble beginnings in a heritage bungalow to a multi-building campus, the school's journey reflects dedication, growth, and an unwavering commitment to quality education. The school remains dedicated to its founding principles: fostering academic excellence, building character, promoting discipline, and nurturing responsible citizens who will contribute meaningfully to society.
