[[File:Ogjs.JPG|thumb|left|Oak Grove School – Junior Wing]]
[[Oak Grove School (Jharipani, Mussoorie)|Oak Grove School]] stands out from the other notable institutions of Mussoorie for two reasons.

[[Image:Educational Wynberg.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A view of Wynberg Allen School]]
[[Wynberg Allen School]], established in 1888, is a well-known school which ranks amongst the finest in the country. In Kanpur, during the year 1887, a group of friends, Mr. Alfred Powell, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Foy and Brigadier J H Condon met and decided to set up a school in Mussoorie. The school was built at Jabarkhet along the Tehri road and was later shifted to the present Wynberg Estate. The object was to provide for and give to children, wholly or partly of European descent, an education based on Protestant Christian principles; to maintain such children; and to give them an academic and practical training conducive to economic welfare and happiness. It now accommodates students of all descents.<ref name=":0" />

The school consists of two branches—the Junior branch (Wynberg) and the Senior branch (Allen) and accommodates around 700 children. The school has four houses: Allen, Powell, Foy and Condon. A student from the institution is referred to as an "Alwynin".{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

[[File:CJM_Waverley_Mussoorie.jpg|right|thumb|A view of [[Convent of Jesus and Mary, Waverley, Mussoorie]]]]
The [[Convent of Jesus and Mary, Waverley, Mussoorie]] was established in 1845 by the Religious Sisters of Jesus and Mary Mussoorie Educational Society.

The school is conducted by the [[Religious of Jesus and Mary|Religious Sisters of Jesus and Mary]]. It is an all-girls school and perhaps the oldest Convent school in India. Waverley is at an elevation of {{Convert|7000|ft|}} above sea level on one of the healthiest, most extensive and well wooded hills of Mussoorie. The Jesus and Mary congregation was the first congregation of Sisters to come to the north in 1842 at the invitation of Bishop Borghi the Vicar Apostolic of the Agra Mission. The Archbishop requested the sisters to come to Mussoorie to start a school for girls. In 1845 the sisters came to Mussoorie. The estate of Waverley belonging to an Italian gentleman had just come into the market and the nuns bought it. That year saw the commencement of one of the most important Catholic educational institutions in the North of India. Thousands of girls, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, have since passed through Waverley. The small inadequate bungalow which was all the accommodation at first offered, has given place to a group of tastefully conceived buildings which dominate the town of Mussoorie.<ref name=":0" />
