Hebron School is in the town of Ootacamund or Udagamandalam (Ooty), which is known as 'The Queen of the Hill Stations' in the Nilgiri Hills, situated at 2200m (7500ft), above sea level.

The children are cared for in dormitory groups according to age. Younger children may be under the care of a single house mother, but older children are usually cared for by a married couple acting as house-parents. There is a school nurse and caterers are in charge of domestic staff and food. Last Updated on Tuesday, 16 December 2008 15:23 Read more...   Hebron School Affiliations 1.
