Historical Summary
The will of Major General Claude Martin provided for schools to be established in Lucknow, Calcutta and in his birthplace Lyon, France. In India, the school in Calcutta opened in 1836 for both boys and girls although classes were separate. Due to legal wrangles, the school at Lucknow did not open till 1845, nor was there any provision for a girls department. An existing girls school passed into the hands of the Martin Charities who established the Martiniere Girls school in 1869.
