About St. James' School | ACHARYA JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSE ROAD | ENTALLY | KOLKATA
Not much is known about our founding fathers, but this much is certain that it began with a vision - a vision for children who, irrespective of language, creed or colour would grow up in an institution devoid of racial prejudices, would be able to express themselves fearlessly and be taught by teachers totally committed to the cause of sound, all-round, value based education. St. James' School was established in 1864. It was inaugurated by the then Most Revd. George Edward Cotton- the Bishop of Calcutta on 25th July 1864. Almost from its inception, reports show that these were years of stress and struggle. In the first twenty years of its existence the school faced intensive financial difficulties and had to be closed in December 1904. According to reports, there was an upsurge of sentiment on the part of parents, well wishers and old boys at the closure of the school.

Abhishek Pal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"“The Honour Of, The School We Love” perfectly sums up what St. James’ means to its students and alumni. It is far more than just a school—it’s our Alma Mater, a place where we learned, grew, and built the foundation of our lives.
The school has always been blessed with some of the most reputed teachers and principals, not only from India but also from around the globe. Their guidance and wisdom have left an indelible mark on generations of students.
The golden days spent here are etched in our hearts, filled with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. From the bonds formed in classrooms to the countless lessons learned outside of them, St. James’ is a treasure trove of experiences.
Admittedly, the playfield has seen some reduction in size, but the soul of the school remains untouched. The majestic Church, the beloved Jungle Gym, and the irresistible food from the Canteen continue to be timeless attractions that carry the charm of St. James’ forward.
For anyone who has been a part of this school, St. James’ will always hold a special place—a beacon of learning, love, and lifelong memories."
Dr. Summauli Pyne ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"My Son, Ritrish Bhaduri walked into this school in the year 2008 and his year if completion of School will be 2023. I still remember the day when the interviews were taken.. transparent and logical. Over the years I have seen my son to excel in Sports, develop positive personality traits and the most important of all to he turned out being a good ‘ human ‘ , caring for others and being supportive to all. Along with the family values, his school has helped him to be so. Being an academician myself, I sincerely feel that St. James’ School is one of the best Schools of Kolkata for the all round development of a child."
