About Mayo
Who are we - Mayo College? Our mission statement, history, and culture, as well as our vision.
FOUNDED IN 1875
In Ajmer, Rajasthan, there is a public boys' residential school called Mayo College. Richard Bourke, 6th Lord of Mayo, who served as Viceroy of India from 1869 to 1872, founded it in 1875. The institution is among India's oldest public residential schools.
ORIGIN & LEGACY
The famed author Rudyard Kipling's father, Mr. Lockwood Kipling, provided the design from which the Mayo College coat of arms was created. As India gained its independence, the school welcomed students from all communities and regions of the country and the rest of the world.
OUR CAMPUS
The School, spread across 180 lush acres in Rajasthan's Aravali Hills, boasts abundant greenery despite its proximity to the desert. With 18 playing fields, a 9-hole Golf course, 60 horses, a climbing wall, three gyms, and two pools, it also hosts global exchange students.
