The history of education in Sun Beams’ Campus is approximately 132 years old, and is intertwined with the advent of the American Episcopal Church towards the concluding years 19th century. The institution is situated in the open and green area Cantonment of Kanpur, which was the historical theatre of the first war of Independence, fiercely fought at Cawnpore, now Kanpur, in 1857, and this also included the site at which many institutions stand today including Sunbeams’.
From a war torn battle field to the peaceful class of education, the turning point came with the establishment of Girls High School in the Episcopal Church Compound in 1876, from which two institutions took shape in the times to come. Girls High School, later on, assumed the identity of Methodist High School. A part of this compound exchanged hands with the illustrious family of the Noronhas of Kanpur, who were running their own schools like Huddard and Noronha, run by Mrs. May Noronha and Mrs. Florence Noronha up to 1980s. Way back in 1963, Noronhas were gracious enough to part with the arena, which is now Sun Beams’ Campus. The Noronha’s transferred their rights and interests to Mrs. Bimla Nigam, who, in course of time provided the campus to Sun Beams’ School.
