High
upon the mountains,
away from the city clamour,
By graceful trees surrounded,
there stands our own dear school,
We revel in the leisure, the study, sport & fun,
The beauty of the hillside, the breezes, the rain &
sun.
Chorus :
So we'll love our own dear school,
with glad remembrance ever,
And we'll stand by the good and right,
with steadfast calm endeavour,
We will treasure friendships firm,
that will last our whole lives through,
|
 |
 |
So
here's to kimmins, to dear old kimmins;
May we be always true.
We
come from many countries,
and thrilled by past traditions,
Of noble, loyal service we live in Unity.
Our motto, "God My Leader",
inspires our work and play,
And by His grace we'll follow
more faithfully each day.

| Introduction
to the School |
 Kimmins
High School is a 107 years old premier girls' residential
school affiliated to the ICSE. Situated in sylvan surroundings
covering 15 acres of land, the school provides ample facilities
for study, sport and recreation.
The School was established by Miss Emilie Kimmins in 1898
and completed 100 years of service in 1998. During the Centenary
celebrations, a large number of past students and staff from
India and abroad participated, to make the festivities a grand
success.
Kimmins High School is managed by the CMEFT (Christian Medical
and Educational Fellowship Trust) registered in Mumbai. CMEFT
is dedicated to the education and upliftment of women in India.
The other institutions run by the CMEF Trust are Queen Mary
School - the 130 years old leading girls' school in Mumbai,

school maintains a reputation for its high academic standards,
personal care and attention to the all round development
of talents and personality of each student. Though cosmopolitan
in its outlook, the school provides a very homely and friendly
atmosphere for nurturing the students. Apart from regular
academics the school lays emphasis on sports and various
other extra-curricular activities. The School employs well-qualified
staff to meet the academic and extra-curricular needs of
the students.
Tucked away into the curves and turns of
the Panchgani hill, the school building merges into the
topography of the environment. The school campus is rich
in flora and fauna native to Panchgani and Kimmins takes
great pride in maintaining the natural surroundings on the
campus.
