Welham was founded in 1937 as a preparatory school for boarding schools in England and India, by Miss Hersilia Susie Oliphant, an English lady, with a capital of £1000. There were no funds or staff, and no school buildings. Today the ratio of teachers to students on campus stands at 9:1. She named the school after her home village of Welham, Nottinghamshire. She later founded a sister school, Welham Girls' School. In 1956 Miss Oliphant donated all her assets to the Welham Boys' School, which presently is administered by a board of trustees. Mr. S. K. (Charlie) Kandhari took over as principal in January 1983. Today the Welham Boys' School (WBS) is an active member of the Round Square group of cooperation.
