A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FIRST SCHOOL

Fifty three years ago, with the blessings of the Chairman and Senior Principal’s Mother, Smt.Kaligi Ranganathan Ammal, Montford English School was founded on 06-06-1970 with Kindergarden Classes and 33 Pupils, to be of service to young children in their formative years of life. The initial location was at Door No. 15, Bharathi Road, II Street, Perambur. We still hold on to it as an annexure to the later expansion in Anandavelu Street.

The School started with a strength of 33 in 1970, soon became quite popular for Primary Education in English Medium in the areas, in and around, near and far and the strength picked up fast. The name Montford was christened in memory of two great Yeomen – Simon De Montford, an English Statesman and Soldier, known for his Strict discipline and good conduct in the English Army and Saint Louis Marie De Montford, a World renowned Educationist who was the first in the world to render an all-round education for the total development of the young.
