History
Adab High School was founded circa 1869 in the neighborhood of Julfa (now New Julfa), by Rev. Robert Bruce a British Anglican missionary (CMS).[1] In the early years the school enrollment was low and sporadic.[1] At the time of its inception, the school offered modern physics and chemistry laboratories.[2] The campus quarters was moved in 1915.[1] From 1915 until 1939, the school was renamed Stuart Memorial College, after Anglican bishop Edward Stuart (1827–1911) who had served his mission in Isfahan, Persia from 1879 until 1894.[1][3]
It was the only all-boys high school in Isfahan with its own swimming pool and soccer field.
