Anglo Urdu Boys' High School, Pune, India, is one of the oldest Urdu- and English-language schools in the city. The school is affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Board (MSBSHSE). The school is located in Azam campus, a part of the Camp area of the city.[1]

History

Anglo Urdu Boys' High School was established in 1920. In 1927, the school was shifted to its present building constructed on a part of the 23 acres of land bought by the social worker Haji Gulam Mohd Azam. Prior to independence of India, the school was run by the British Raj government. Thereafter,the government grant was discontinued and the Maharashtra Cosmopolitan Society (MCE) took over the school and had to depend entirely on the small amounts of donation it received from its patrons, from old boys and from members of the society. The government grant was restored in 1972.

Initially, the school had Urdu language classes and the young men of the community were deprived knowledge of English. This prompted the management to start English medium classes from Standard V to X in 1971. Now, the school has a junior college and students can complete their education up to Standard XII in any of the three disciplines of Arts, Commerce and Science, before they proceed to receive higher education in degree colleges. Nearly 1750 students of different castes and communities receive education through English as the medium of instruction.[2]

The school building is located on the Azam campus, spread over 23 acres, in the Pune Cantonment known as Camp. It also consist of 29 other institutes.[3] The school has a library, computer and science labs. Physical training is compulsory for all the students of the Jr.College.
