firstly Auckland is a co-ed institution dont ever think it is only for girls -_-
secondly there are only 2 girls schools in shimla which are Loreto Convent Tara Hall and Convent of Jesus and Mary, Chelsea so stop being blind and open your eyes because Auckland House School suckssss….xxPP
Auckland is not co-educational school ,there is a separate girls wings and a boys wing .No doubt there are many girl schools in shimla but if you are looking for top finishing school for your kids then you must consider the best….AUCKLAND HOUSE SCHOOL
I am willing to took admission my children in class L.k.G and class1

Hello, does the school hold records my grandmother went there and we are trying to build our family tree?
My First School. Although it is primarily a Girls School, I studied here for my first 3 years. Undoubtedly this Place is amazingly picturesque and holds my Childhood dream memories. This prestigious institute holds special place in my heart.
