==History==
VMS started with 300 students up to year 6. The children were trained to appear at their board examinations given by the local West Bengal Board of Secondary Education. In 1992 the school received the affiliation to Council for Indian School Certificate Examination which entitled the children to sit for Indian Certificate for Secondary Examination, for year 10, and Indian School Certificate Examination, for year 12).

The 1st ICSE batch of 10 students appeared in 1995 followed by the 1st ISC batch in 1997. At this point, the school had its own building, opposite the [[Indian Institute of Management Calcutta]] at Joka.

The school, from year 5 onwards, was shifted to its present address. Within a couple of years another building was annexed to the existing one to accommodate the increasing number of students. Growth began in the shape of science labs, computer labs, library, four halls—the second one is largely used as the audio-visual room, and a play house for the young ones and other facilities.

The school also presently has extended its campus to Pailan Park with a 6 storied building, playground, swimming pool and a state of the art canteen.
