Wynberg Allen School
Wynberg-Allen School is a boarding school in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India, founded in 1888. It is located at Bala Hissar in Mussoorie, India. The alumni of Wynberg Allen School are known as Alwynians.
From a meeting in Kanpur in 1887 of friends, Mr. Powell, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Foy and Brigade Surgeon J.H. Condon, who became the founders, came the first school at Jabarkhet along the Tehri road. Initially started as Christian Training School and Orphanage with Eugenie Catherine West (died 1895) as its first superintendent, later it was named Wynberg Homes and eventually became the Wynberg Allen School. It provided education in the hills for twenty children. It was established as a Non-Conformist School though from the beginning, as far as funds permitted, no child of any denomination was refused admission. In 1894, the school moved to the present Wynberg Estate.
In 1916 the Governing Society was formed. The object of the society was to provide for and give to children, wholly or partly of European descent, an education based on Protestant Christian principles.
Up to 1926, boys and girls had been accommodated on the Wynberg estate. In that year, however, older boys were transferred to the new Henry Allen Memorial School built on an adjacent hill which became the Senior School for Class 7 and upwards.
In 1963, the school became a co-educational institution. In 1968, a block, consisting of classrooms, dormitory accommodation for Junior boys and members of staff, was opened in Wynberg.
The school further went through major renovations during the last couple of years encompassed around a vast campus of over 300 acres. This included world-class sports facilities including an indoor swimming pool, basketball courts, tennis.
The school has an auditorium, gymnasium, and a science block (including a computer lab) in Allen, the Senior School. The school is managed by the Wynberg Homes Society, a society registered under the Societies Act of 1860, on inter-denominational lines through a Board of Management.
The school accommodates around 900 children.
