"Perseverance is success" is not only a phrase but has become a way of life for the entire Carmanian family since 3rd March 1960. On this momentous day, "The Valley School" commenced in a small room in the lush green valley of Dehradun by a visionary Mr. A.G. Carbery. A year later, with the marriage of his daughter Jennifer Carbery to Ivan Mann, the school was renamed as Carman School. The name was given after taking the first three letters of each surname, i.e. Car from Carbery and Man from Mann.

These two great educationists built two well known schools over a period of forty years and have also been responsible for the spread of education in the Doon Valley by providing and developing new educational institutions. Beside developing new educational institutions, they also contributed in many diverse ways to the educational fraternity.
