Hebron School
Hebron School is a co-educational day and boarding independent international Christian school in Ootacamund, the hill station also known as Ooty, Tamil Nadu, India. The school is a boarding school operated by a Protestant/Christian trust to educate the children of Christian workers and business families living predominantly in India, but also in other parts of the world.
The school is non-denominational.
==History==
The school traces its origin to 1899 when a group of Protestant missionaries, who had come to the hills on vacation and were staying at Brooklands Christian Guest Home in nearby Coonoor, decided it would be of benefit to their children to live year round in the temperate and clean surroundings of the Nilgiri hills. Due to the high altitude — Ooty being at 2300 m (7500 ft) above sea level — these hills enjoy year-round cool temperatures and abundant rainfall, and their climate has often been compared to Europe. Initially the school operated as a type of boarding house where children would stay, and either be home-educated in house or sent to one of the local schools.
The school, as it is known today, was created by amalgamating schools dating back to British times, including the former Lushington Boys School. For several years the Senior boys' school was situated at Lushington Hall, Ooty, and the Girls School and Junior School were situated at the Silverdale campus in Coonoor, approximately 20 km away. In 1974 it was decided that co-education would be more beneficial to the children, and the two schools were amalgamated into one at Lushington Hall Ooty. The senior girls however are housed separately at Selborne. The Silverdale campus (often referred to as ''Titch Heb'') was sold to Christian Mission Service and is now a children's home and industrial training institute.
