Lady Jerbai Engineer, the founder and the moving spirit of the school has built a sacred trust to perpetuate the training, initially of Parsi Youth, on sound lines. Lady Jerbai Engineer had first enlisted the support of two doctors Dr. Contractor and Dr. Parekh who examined the students medically. Her friend Mrs. Amba C.P. Wadia took great interest in the school, as well as Mr. Choi from the first batch of voluntary workers and she was formally assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Jahabaksha Watcha.Our school is a co-educational school, which we favour, as co-education arouses both a sense of healthy competition and comaraderie with the help of discipline that is both kind and firm. We teach throughout in the English Medium. Earlier the school fees used to be Rs. 3 – Rs. 12 and later it changed to Rs.20 per month. Mrs. Jerbanoo Vatcha an honorary worker, visited the parents who wanted to enter their children and to find out how much they could afford. The fees included a wholesome tasty meal, milk at tea-time and vitamins in the cold for most of the children.
