The J.B. Petit High School for Girls

About Institution

Established in 1860 by a selfless, dynamic Englishwoman, the school was originally known as Miss Prescott’s Fort Christian School. Thanks to munificent donations from city philanthropists, among them the distinguished businessman, Premchand Roychand, it was later renamed the Frere Fletcher School.
