An application for the convent school near church was made on the 13th October 1894 by St. Mary J. Patrick Brophy I. B. V. M. of Tara Hall Simla and this application on the 19th October of the same year was favoured by a grant of ground, 6 acres in extent at No. 67 Jhansi Cantt. On this site a building was erected between 1895-97 keeping the proprietorship of the estate reserved with all rights.
This school was finally opened in 1898 and entrusted to sisters Patricia and Teresa of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin May to educate the British Army residing in Jhansi.
The beginnings were indeed small and difficult; besides the two sisters having grown old and weak naturally could not make any progress. And hence the proprietorship of the school with its control management was on the 1st April 1913 formally made over to the Bishop of Allahabad. Fr. Patronus Gramigha, ofm Cap.,
In this state they remained 15 years until the congregation of the I. B. V. M. decided to take it over and in 1913 Rev. Mother Delphina with two Sisters Sr. M. Pauline and M. Aventine were sent there to take up the work.
At their arrival they found but the nucleus of the present establishment , which consisted of a hall with dilapidated furniture, the compound a jungle therefore they lived in the same Bogie in which they came, the funds a few rupees (only rupees 100/-), and the number of pupils thirteen.
The integral human formation of girls from every social background in the spirit of freedom, sincerity and justice so that they remain alive to the needs of the world with the knowledge which gives them power to act, and motivated by the love which gives the purpose and wisdom in their action. Thus they live the fullness of life to which they are called.
