Bishop Cotton School

In the heart of the beautiful Shimla Hills, Bishop Cotton School is situated, but within relatively easy reach of Chandigarh and Delhi. We have our sights firmly focused on the challenges of the twenty-first century, reinforced by a proud past dating back over one hundred and fifty years.

To be studied at Bishop Cotton School is to reach the world with a variety of qualities and abilities beyond school. We aim to make young men happy, resilient, self-motivated, optimistic and prepared for any challenge ahead of us. As a boarding group, we strive to offer every pupil who joins our family with the highest level of pastoral care.

Of course, we believe in the promotion of academic excellence and achievement, but this is not at the cost of all-round and wide-ranging education, because the two are not mutually exclusive. They, on the other hand, complement each other. Our education is determinedly holistic and driven by principles. Both in and out of the classroom, our students thrive and develop talents, qualities and values that will contribute to a successful life.

We deeply believe that the standard of education is seen in the behavior of the young men we create and Bishop Cotton Alumni (The Old Cottonians Association) is an extremely eclectic and highly influential community of individuals in a wide variety of fields around the world who have achieved success. The OCA provides our students with mentoring and support as they prepare for life beyond school.

Come and see us in order to learn who we are and what we are for. You will be assured of a warm welcome by walking through the Deodar forest and into our safe and spacious campus.
