The nuns from Presentation Convent High School, Rawalpindi travelled to Kashmir via Uri, in a journey of three days, on the invitation of the Maharaja, Hari Singh.

The Maharaja had requested the Bishop of Srinagar to invite the nuns to set up a school in Kashmir for the education of his only son and the Crown Prince, Dr. Karan Singh.

[citation needed] The school was granted recognition for providing Bachelor of Arts degrees for women, but the college department was closed down in 1947, after the Indian government took over the administration of the valley.

From kindergarten up to Year 7, the school implements its own curriculum based on the guidelines set out by the NCERT.

The school hosts cross-country races, badminton, cricket, and football matches, and a plethora of plays and performances.

Pupils from the school have won gold and silver medals in international tournaments in wushu, kickboxing, taekwondo, and skiing.

The litigant claimed that the school denying his daughter admission despite fulfilling requisite criteria was an outright display of elitism.

The litigant further claimed non-deserving candidates secured admission and criticised the school for "anti-poor" behaviour.
