- The Lawrence School, in Sanawar, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India, was founded in 1847 by British military officer and administrator Henry Lawrence; it continues to operate under the same name as of 2023. The school was founded for British military orphans to live and learn in a safe environment. It is one of the earliest co-ed boarding schools in the world. After India gained independence in 1949, the school came under jurisdiction of the Indian Ministry of Education. For information on Samuel Bourne, see A1999.1_4
