History

[edit | edit source]

Rang Mahal School was founded by Charles William Forman and John Newton on 19 December 1849 as Lahore Mission School.[3][4] It was the first English-medium school in northern India at the time of its establishment.[5][4] Initially, the classes of the school were started under a tree with three students of Kashmiri ancestry.[1] The school was later shifted to Rang Mahal in 1852, a mahal that was previously owned by Saadullah Khan, a grand wazir of Emperor Shah Jahan, but was acquired by the mission to establish a school.[1][6]

The school was nationalized by the Government of Pakistan in 1972.[7] Formerly, it was under the administration of Presbyterian Education Trust.[8]
