Methodist High School was established in Kanpur, India in 1876 by Miss Isabella Thoburn, a Christian Missionary Educationist from the U.S.A., who felt the need for an education for girls and women in the city of Kanpur. Her school was called "The Girls High School" and was situated in the North West Tannery Bungalow in Civil Lines, on the banks of the river Ganges. The school was shifted to the present premises in 1889 The school had a change in name in 1895. "The Girls High School" became "The Methodist High School". Soon, the Middle and the Left Wings were constructed and by 1912, the Right Wing was ready for occupation.
Miss Thoburn died in 1901 but her good work was carried on by the dedicated missionaries to India who came from the Methodist Church in America. The school grew in numbers in staff and students and the buildings multiplied as the need arose. It has a large compound with four buildings: Elementary school (Nursery and KG), Primary School (I to V) and Senior School (VI to XII). The buildings are all brick and the Senior School has a distinct British Raj architecture with open verandahs and arches. Today, we have the Evelyn Strader Block, a mammoth project that was a Quasqicentennial gift to the school, under the Principalship of the dynamic lady, Mrs. Helen Brown.
