The School was founded in the year 1985 by Dr. Deepak Arora and his German wife Mrs. Silvia Anna Maria Wieczorek. The name of the School “ANN MARY” is a part of the maiden name of Mrs. Arora. Anna and Maria (Ann and Mary) were the names of the two grandmothers of Mrs. Arora. Just before the school began, she inherited a nominal amount of money from these two good souls and these funds were also used to build the school. Considering their kindness and the easy pronunciation of Ann Mary (A for Anna) for the children we decided to call the school Ann Mary.
The Exchange Program between Ann Mary School, Dehradun, India and Frei Herr Vom Stein Schule, Neckarsteinach, Germany, is an ongoing project which began in 2004; and takes places every alternate year. A group of about 12 students and some staff members travel to Germany in the month of June for a period of two weeks, and the same number of German students and staff visit India in the month of October of the same year. Each Indian student and staff member who visits Germany lives in the homes of the German hosts. They attend regular classes with their German friends. Apart from attending school the students get to see some of the national and educational treasures of Germany. The reciprocal visit takes place in the same fashion. Indian Students host their German friends in their homes and expose them to our culture and history.
