As Principal, it is my immense privilege to welcome you to our school website, a window into the vibrant life and rich heritage of our institution.

For generations, Hampton Court has been a beacon of holistic education, nestled amidst the serene beauty of Mussoorie, and guided by the profound wisdom and enduring values of our foundress, St. Claudine Thevenet. Our school is proud to have a 103-year-old legacy of educational excellence.

St. Claudine, a woman of extraordinary faith and resilience, lived through turbulent times, witnessing firsthand the devastation of the French Revolution. Yet, amidst the chaos, her heart was moved by compassion, particularly for the orphaned and uneducated children. Her unwavering belief in the inherent dignity of every individual, her commitment to forgiveness, and her profound sense of God's goodness in all circumstances form the very bedrock of our educational philosophy. She taught us to see God in all things, to extend mercy, and to work with humble hearts for the betterment of others.

In today's rapidly changing world, St. Claudine’s ideals are more relevant than ever. We live in an era of unprecedented challenges, from global conflicts to environmental concerns, from rapid technological advancements to the complexities of social interactions. It is precisely in this context that the values of compassion, reconciliation, and selfless service, championed by St. Claudine, become our guiding stars.

At Hampton Court, we strive to nurture not just academically proficient individuals, but also compassionate, resilient, and morally upright citizens. We believe in fostering an environment where every student feels loved, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our curriculum is designed to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning, while our co-curricular activities encourage teamwork, leadership, and a sense of responsibility towards our community and the wider world. We encourage our students to embrace challenges with courage, to practice empathy in their interactions, and to find joy in serving others. We teach them that true success lies not only in personal achievements but in their contribution to a more just and humane society.

As you explore our website, I invite you to discover the unique spirit of Hampton Court – a spirit animated by faith, instilled with values, and inspired by the enduring legacy of St. Claudine Thevenet. We are committed to preparing our students to face the future with confidence, to be agents of positive change.

With warm regards and blessings,

Ivy Mary Lyngdoh RJM
