The school functions under the Church of North India, Diocese of Jabalpur. The Rt. Rev. Dr. P.C.Singh, Bishop of Jabalpur Diocese is the Chairman.

Sports and cultural activities

The school has a large influence into sports. A special type of physical exercise termed as torchlight is a special highlight of the school. Since 1904 CE it is included in the annual sports in which burning torches are used to perform a scenic synchronised exercise. In 1928 rev D.V.Beatson added the Beatson exercise. Arguably these set of exercises are not practised elsewhere.
