CBE, at the Clive Line Barracks” (The Dailypost 1 August, 1946) King George Royal Indian Military College, Bangalore was founded on 01 August 1946 to facilitate education to the sons of Defence personnel from South India. Cadets were educated, then from III to VII standard to enable them to appear for the Army’s Special Examination, which was equivalent to high school education. The three houses, at that time, were Coot, Clive and Cornwall. The School was reorganised in September 1952 and was thrown open to the sons of commissioned officers and civilians. The name of the school was shortened to King George’s School and the school motto was ‘Play the Game’.

The nascent patriotic fervor found its local expression when the houses were renamed as Rajaji, Nehru and Mountbatten.

In 1966, the School’s name was changed to ‘Bangalore Military School’ and after four years of its affiliation to ICSE, the school adopted the CBSE Syllabus in 1967. In 1969, the School’s motto was changed to “Sheelam Param Bhushanm”, a Sanskrit Sloka which means, ‘Character is the highest virtue’. The School celebrated its Diamond Jubilee on 08th December 2006 and in July 2007 the School was renamed as Rashtriya Military School, Bangalore..
