It was he who labored to fulfill a long felt need i.e. a School for European and Anglo-Indian children. And so apparently the School began on June 1, 1870 in the vestry of Christ Church and moved to the present old School building in or around 1876. As the schools remained closed for the summer November 1, All Saints Day, became a convenient date to commemorate the Founder and all those who laboured for the building of the Christ Church Schools. It is now celebrated as the Founder's Day. As the school continued to grow in number, a great need for more classrooms was felt by all. It was in January 1986, that Bishop F.C.Jonathan, took over as the Chairman of the school's Governing Body. It was under his leadership and during the principalship of Mrs K.F Jonathan that the school flourished and a master plan for the school was conceived called "The Education Expansion Programme".
