Continuing our series of schools and colleges as filming locations. Apparently, this school located in Darjeeling, has been used as a filming locations from the 1960s. The Wiki page of the school says that one of the most popular Raj Kapoor movies, Mere Naam Joker, was among the many movies that were shot here. But the reason why we chose to document this location was because of the 2004 super-hit film, Main Hoon Na, starring Shah Rukh and Sushmita.

About the location (from Wiki):
St. Paul’s School is one of Asia’s oldest and most pre-eminent public schools, known for its academic tradition and alumni. It is located in the town of Darjeeling, in the far northern portion of the state of West Bengal. At about 7800 feet above sea level, its altitude makes it the highest public school in the world. The school is run by the Church of North India and is led by the Rector, who functions as a school principal and resides on the sprawling 75-acre campus in an impressive Rectory and is assisted by the Senior Master (Vice-Principal), the Bursar and the Heads of the Junior and Primary Wings in the school administration. The school follows the curriculum prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations based in New Delhi.
