Skolen blev ikke tilsluttet nogen konfession, fordi Porto Novo Missionen forventede, at en kirke med folkeligt, indisk præg ville vokse frem. Efter Anne Marie Petersens død fortsatte skolen under indisk ledelse, stadig støttet fra Danmark af grundtvigske kredse frem til 2007, hvor Porto Novo Missionen blev nedlagt, efter næsten 100 års succesfuldt arbejde.
