THE FUTURE FOUNDATION SCHOOL

The Future Foundation School is founded on the principles and inspired by the light of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. Guided by Shri Pradyot Kumar Bhattacharya (1905-1984), iconic engineer and trustee of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, Smt. Joya Mitter 1936- 1999), a devotee and cultural aficionado, founded the school in 1981 and modelled it in the style of the "Gurukul" of ancient times. After her demise in 1999, Shri Ranjan Mitter took charge as Principal and over the past two decades, has transformed the school into a contemporary, future-ready institution. It is an organic extension of a pre-school, Arun Nursery, which was named and blessed by the Mother. Shri Arun Tagore, a reputed lawyer belonging to the famous Tagore family lineage, founded the pre-school, seeking permission of The Mother to do so, who named the school ‘Arun Nursery’, much to his embarrassment. Thus, on September 04, 1972 the pre-school began its journey and from these origins grew The Future Foundation School. The Future Foundation School is a co-educational school and is an initiative of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture. The medium of instruction is English. The school is affiliated to the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi. Children are prepared for the ICSE and ISC examinations. The Future Foundation School provides its K 12 students a future focussed and culturally rooted education. From a modest beginning the school has now grown into a premier educational institution in South Kolkata.
