ABOUT ABHC

Welcome to the
Army Burnhall
College Abbottabad

Burn Hall traces its history back to 1943 when missionaries from St. Joseph's Society Mill Hill, London, established the Burn Hall School in Srinagar. It was named after an English Manor House, which had a hall with a stream (Burn) running through it, hence, the name 'Burn Hall'. In 1943, the missionaries established Burn Hall School in a rented home in Srinagar, with the motto "Industria Floremus - In Toil We Flourish". In 1948, Father Tijssen set up Burn Hall School in a small hotel building, the Abbot Hotel. Father Scanlon: the first Principal of the school along with Borekamp and Mallet were appointed in staff.

BOARDING

Boarding adds value to the quality of education

There are 8 boarding houses at abhc, each with excellent facilities, including dining halls, prep rooms, and common rooms. Each house proudly displays its history through photographs and trophies, marking the achievements of boys throughout our history. A boarder's journey progresses from Gwyn (Junior School) to Saigol and Monnoo (Prep School), and then to one of five senior houses: Kelly, Godley, Leslie Jones, K&N's, and Shirazi (Senior School). Life is busy with supervised homework tutorials, games, sports, clubs, and occasional outings. The original and true experience of an Hallians still resides in the boarding experience.
