 The initial focus and principle objective of the school was that it should be an English Medium School.The Pearsons had a vision for excellence in English learning and teaching in Bangalore, and they saw a need for a good quality English school in what was then the new settlement of Jayanagar.Between 1964 and 1966, the Pearsons took leave without pay from the school to live briefly in the United Kingdom, and in order to ensure the continuity of the School, Espoir Pearson's father, Dr. Santoshananda, managed the day-to-day running of School as interim principal.
