About Us

Our Legacy & History

Founded in 1937 by Ms. Hersilia Oliphant as the Welham Preparatory School, the institution began with a modest self-investment in the idyllic Himalayan foothills of Dehradun. Named after Ms. Oliphant's childhood village in England—whose mother provided essential financial support—the school quickly grew from a single student on January 15, 1937, into a prestigious preparatory school.

In 1956, Ms. Oliphant selflessly donated all her personal assets to the Welham Boys' School Society, establishing a legacy now governed by a Board of Trustees. Elevated to a full secondary school (+2) in 1985, Welham Boys' School has evolved into one of India’s premier residential institutions.

  • Curriculum & Affiliation: Affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), offering a comprehensive academic program from primary through senior secondary grades.
  • Holistic Education: Balanced focus on strong language foundations, creative arts, carpentry, and sports alongside rigorous academic standards.
  • Motto: "From Strength to Strength" — first carried on the school banner in 1941, representing continuous growth, resilience, and achievement.
