Methodist High School, Kanpur

Methodist High School, or MHS Kanpur, was established in Kanpur, India in 1876[1] (originally named Girls' High School) by the American Missionary Educationist Isabella Thoburn.

MHS is a sister school to the Isabella Thoburn College of Lucknow.

Established in a large thatched bungalow on the banks of the River Ganges, the school was later relocated to its present campus at 73, Cantonment.

The school was started to educate "Anglo-Indian" children (children of English men and their household Indian servants, who were often neglected by all sectors of society).

After independence, the school began offering nursery, primary and secondary education to children from all communities in Kanpur.
