St. HILDA'S serves the true purpose of education aiming at the all round development of the child, training the mind to make implicit decisions, to know right from wrong and to be in control over one's emotions no matter what the situation be. St. HILDA'S helps a child to develop practical wisdom essential in everyday life in addition to the academic development it provides.



St. HILDA'S SCHOOL was founded in 1892 by Sisters of the Church from Kilburn, U. K, to cater to the educational needs of the protestant European communities. The school at that time was meant exclusively for the European children in India. Since independence the school started taking Indian children and Indian staff. Today the school is entirely Indian in its composition, culture and values and yet retains it cosmopolitan outlook and international standards.

The School is a minority institution and functions as part of the Coimbatore Diocese of the Church of South India, but enjoys autonomy with its own constitution. The working philosophy of the school is based on the teaching and application of Christian tenets and yet maintains its secular character and functioning.
Most of the children are from South India and a sizeable few from North India. The school is primarily residential , though about 25% of the local students are admitted as day-scholars.
