Christ Church School
About Us
We trace our roots to the present Cathedral of St. Thomas at Fort, where in 1718, Rev. Richard Cobbe, Chaplain to the East India Company’s Factory at Bombay, founded not far from the Cathedral, in 1718, a small free school, where twelve poor boys were housed, clothed, fed and educated by just one master.
This Charity school, was the grain of mustard seed from which Christ Church School, Byculla and Barnes School & Junior College, Devlali have sprung into mighty trees.

Attending Barnes School and Junior College was more than just an educational experience; it was a journey through history and tradition. Learning in an environment that traces its origins back to Rev. Richard Cobbe’s small charity school is both humbling and inspiring. The school continues to uphold the values of care, dedication, and holistic development—values that shaped me into who I am today.

I am fortunate to have been part of this illustrious institution, where education goes beyond textbooks, nurturing young men and women with the ethos of service and integrity. It’s truly an honor to be associated with such a venerable heritage.

Being a student at Christ Church School, Byculla, is like stepping into a living piece of history. From its origins as a small charity school for underprivileged boys in 1718 to the modern institution it is today, the school has always emphasized compassion, integrity, and academic excellence. I feel proud to carry forward the legacy of such a historic institution, where the seeds of knowledge continue to grow and flourish.

Barnes School & Junior College is more than just a place of learning; it is a testament to centuries of dedication to education and service. Knowing that the school’s roots go back to a time when twelve poor boys were offered hope through education fills me with immense pride. The school’s growth into a 'mighty tree' is a powerful reminder of the impact education can have on lives, and I am grateful to be part of this enduring legacy.

Admission Process
The admission process is simple and transparent. It works on the belief that a personal interaction between parents/authorised guardians, the prospective student and the school’s authorised representatives is of far greater value than any conventional admission test. The process is aimed at giving us an insight into the type of education approach and environment you believe would be appropriate for your child to maximise his/her potential, while giving us a glimpse of the child’s strengths, learning needs and potential. It also gives you, as parents/authorised guardians, a first-hand opportunity to obtain an understanding of how our students and faculty engage with each other, our overall offering, curricula and our educational approach.
