A citadel of hope, a tower of learning, an arena of discovery. Bentinck has been a gateway to a better life to many generations of deprived and underprivileged girl children in the heart of Chennai city for the past 180 years
A star from the West travelled across the Indian Ocean to reach the southern most part of TamilNadu. Yes, it is none other than Mrs. Anna Drew, the founder of Bentinck Higher Secondary School.
She is portrayed as “the angel of perpetual youth, love, benevolence and sacrifice”. She started this institution in 1837. She was a a missionary sent by the London Missionary Society to cater to the needs of the orphans and destitutes in Vepery. In those days, when education to the women folk was neglected, she started the school with 21 orphan children in a spacious airy bungalow, giving them food and shelter and sharing the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the beginning, it was called London Mission School.
