The school was established in 1834, named Hyderabad Residency School, to cater for the educational needs of the children of the British community serving the government in Hyderabad.[1] It is the oldest English medium school of the city and one of the oldest in India.[2]
In 1867 the school changed its name to The Chudderghat Protestant School, and in 1891 to St.George's Grammar School. In 1865 a separate girls' school was established, the first in Hyderabad.[3]
In 1918, the management of the school was handed to the Australian Christian Mission Seminary. After Indian independence in 1947, the school was handed to the Church of South India.[4]
