History edit
The school was founded in 1997, with the first classes being held in Acharya Prafulla Chandra School, BK Block, Salt Lake. The school moved to its new building in FE Block soon afterwards.[3] The inauguration ceremony was on 1 July 1999, led by the then West Bengal Hon’ble Finance Minister Dr. Ashim Dasgupta and Hon’ble Higher Education Minister Satyasadhan Chakraborty.
The four-story building has a triangular shape with a small courtyard in the middle. A playground is beside the main building. The school has laboratories and equipment for sports. It encourages students to take part in cultural programmes and inter-school competition, including painting, debate and chess competitions.
Student life edit
The school has a primary department and a high school department up to 12th standard. It gives its students the option to study in Bengali or English. At the +2 level, there are Science, Humanities and Commerce streams.
