The Kenmore School?

'Ken' in Dutch means knowledge. ‘Kenmore’ means more knowledge. The school was started in the year 1978 to provide a caring, nurturing, humane environment that ensures holistic development of every child through effective teaching and learning. The motto of our school is 'up the right path'. Keeping this in mind we strive hard to inculcate right knowledge, right skills, right values and attitudes in the formative years so as to enable a child to play an important role in making this world a better place to live in. A long cherished dream of Mr. M. Ghousuddin and Mrs. Jameela Ghousuddin became a reality in the year 1978, in form of “The Kenmore School” Kenmore has truly come a long way from its initial strength of just 7 students. Mr. Ghousuddin, a very honest, soft-spoken gentleman, was the Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes. Mrs. Jamila Ghousuddin, an immensely talented and enterprising lady, came from a highly educated and cultured family. Her grandfather Mr.Zahiruddin Mecci, whose name is listed in ‘The Cyclopedia of India’ vol. III, 1909, held numerous prestigious posts, one of thee being the inspector General of Police under the King of Mysore. Mr.Mahmud Sheriff, her father, a successful advocate of his time, was elected Minister of Public Health and Education in the first ministry of free India. He also held several other esteemed posts. Mrs. Akhila Begum, the first Muslim lady to have English education and also the first lady representative assembly member, a poetess and a revolutionary, was Mrs.Jamila’s mother. On this solid foundation of illustrious members of the family serving the State as public servants, Kenmore School was built. Mrs. Jamila served as principal for 10 years. Soon after her demise in June 1988, her daughter Mrs. Ayesha Salma succeeded her. Kenmore saw tremendous change under her leadership of 23 years.
