Irwin Christian High School
Irwin Christian High School is an English medium school located in Kolhapur. The school was constructed in 1915 and currently provides education up to S.S.C..[1]
Around 1892, a school was opened in a small temporary shed in the present Sykes Station area of Kolhapur. It had a primary and middle school and a special English-medium class. Prince Shivaji and Prince Rajaram were the first students. The teachers were an English couple, Dr. Irwin and his wife. When Dr. Irwin died in 1909, Mrs. Irwin took the two princes to England to be educated.
The boys' father, Shahu Maharaj, princely ruler of the Kolhapur province, donated 36 acres of land for an upgraded school in Kolhapur. In 1915, a school building was constructed, named Irwin Christian High School.
