Barnes School and Junior College

Why Choose Barnes?

A century old gem, Barnes is a hidden treasure that is majestically poised on a narrow uphill road behind an empirical gatehouse on the outskirts of a sleepy little town. Up there, you are awed by the majestic colonial era structures and a panoramic view of the surrounding Western Ghats or the Sahyadri Ranges.
Our legacy and enduring commitment to excellence have earned Barnes the distinction of being ranked #1 among Vintage Legacy Day-cum-Boarding Schools in Maharashtra in the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2025–26.
