Boys' High School & College (BHS) is an independent school in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Being founded in 1861, the school is one of the oldest in the city. It provided a Christian education to the children of Europeans and Anglo-Indians, but has always accepted children from all backgrounds. It remained a boys-only school for a long span of time but now accepts admission of girls in senior and college sections (from 2025).
