It was a teacher training school from around 1850 until 1978 when it became a girls boarding school.  In 1994 it became a co-ed Anglo-European School which is hheld to be of high repute.

Thanks for the information, what an interesting name  for a teachers training college, the mind boggles.The buildings still look very much as they would have originally I presume, pity there isn't  more history about the school as it was back then, will have to look around and see what else I can find. Thanks.
