The Lawrence School - Lovedale

The Junior School is headed by a Master-In-Charge and is housed in a modern building that faces the pristine Nilgiri hills at the entrance and the 150-year-old Italian Gothic architecture of the Senior School proudly standing the test of time, to its side. The Junior School building comprises both, the academic and the hostel blocks.

Pupils from Classes 8 and 9 are selected for the NCC and they undergo basic military training in small arms and parades. The pupils are exposed to a regimental way of life which is essential to inculcate values of discipline, duty, punctuality, orderliness, respect, work ethos and self-confidence. The aims of the NCC and its motto of “Unity & Discipline’ are in sync with the ethos of the Junior School and help to develop character, courage, comradeship, leadership, secular outlook, spirit of adventure and sportsmanship and the ideals of selfless service among the youth to make them useful citizens of the country.
