Our founder, Major General Claude Martin was born in Lyon, France in 1735. Being self-educated and possessing a great love for children, Claude Martin realised the importance of formalized education. He set aside a vast portion of his estate for the founding of schools at Lucknow, Calcutta and Lyon. These schools would bear the name of La Martiniere and work towards educating children regardless of their religion, caste and creed The Lucknow Girls' School, as it was then known, was run by Mrs. Saunders Abbott. Following a land grant from the government, the school was moved to its present location at Khursheed Manzil in 1871 and incorporated and established as a branch of La Martinière. La Martiniere Girls' College pays homage to the rich history of Lucknow; its very own building, the Khursheed Manzil (the Palace of the Sun) was the stronghold for the British troops during the Mutiny of 1857. Even after 150 years La Martiniere Girls’ College still works on the principles of charity and selfless service to humanity by training young minds to become empathetic, kind and do their part in making this world a better place.
