Baldwin Girls’ High School, is named after its benefactor philanthropist,John Baldwin of Berea, Ohio, USA. The name 'Baldwin' descends from a royal lineage and is of German extraction meaning 'BOLD Winner'.

The school has seen steady progress adding strength to the school and expanding in terms of buildings with teachers who were devoted and dedicated to giving their best to help the school move forward with quality Christian education. In retrospect, the humble beginning of the Institution in 1880 with few students and minimum facilities stands in stark contrast to its present stature and dignity, having a global perspective and meeting the demands of specialisation in the methods of acquiring knowledge, with a view
to improving the standard and quality of life redefining the role of education.

Today, the institution is a brilliant canvas of many shades and hues. It is certainly not the monotonous regularity of a stagnant social tradition, for us, it is a continuous and
uninterrupted move towards a dynamic and vibrant vision, which keeps us alive with new ideas, new avenues, and new in-roads.
