About
Queen Mary's Tis Hazari is one of the oldest residential schools in Delhi. It was founded by Ms Helen Jerwood who came to India as a self-supporting Missionary. With the specific purpose of educating women in India, she opened an English medium school at Jama Masjid in 1912. In 1914, Queen Mary's shifted to Tis Hazari and grew immensely in strength and name.
It is a matter of great pride that Queen Mary's is the only school that was written about in detail by Bashiruddin Ahmed in his classic history of Delhi. Today it is marked as the heritage site in the historic city of Delhi and has contributed effectively to the education of the "Girl Child" completing a century.
