As the name implies, The Home School is a school where love, kindness and respect for children can be found in abundance. During childhood and youth, it is school which makes a marked impression on young minds. The Principal, teachers and staff of The Home School respect each child as an individual and take great care in educating them and fostering their talents.
The Past
The Home School is amongst the oldest schools in Bangalore, India. Ms. Robinson, a North American missionary, felt Basavanagudi, a locality of Bangalore, and its neighbouring areas required a good school. Her father, Bishop Robinson, had started Baldwins High School, Bangalore. Ms. Robinson had been the Principal there for some years. In 1930, Ms. Robinson alongwith Ms. Donne, a British lady started The Home School.

At that time, the school had only Kindergarten with three or four students and three teachers. Ms. Robinson and Ms. Donne strived to provide education on par with international standards at a very nominal fee. They paid individual attention to each and every student. Within a year, the school had 150 students. A few traditions that were started then are observed till today. These are Christmas Tree, taking children on picnics, morning prayer, scouts and guides and singing with the piano.



The Present
Today, The Home School imparts education from Kindergarten to the seventh standard for boys and girls. The school follows the Karnataka State syllabus with a public examination in the seventh standard.

He had been the Principal from 1989 till his death on 26 November 2006.
