| The objectives of the founders of this school, which aims to prepare its students for undergraduate level college education, was twofold from the beginning: the founders wanted to establish a co-educational school in [[Calcutta]] which would offer education in both Bengali and English. In the early years of the founding of the school it was the school management's policy not to give excessive importance to examinations, although half-yearly and yearly tests were held from the school's inception. The first batch of students from the school took the [[Madhyamik]] (Secondary) Examination in 1972. | | The objectives of the founders of this school, which aims to prepare its students for undergraduate level college education, was two-fold from the beginning: the establishment of a co-educational school in [[Calcutta]] which would offer education in both Bengali and English, and not placing too much stress on examinations, although half-yearly and annual tests were held from the school's inception.

| Another aim of the school was to impart an education to its students in an open atmosphere which was favourable to the sensitive mind and was similar to the method of teaching initially followed by Tagore in his school in Santiniketan, although the medium of instruction in the school in Calcutta has always been more formal in nature. While paying heed to the importance of traditional methods of learning, the founders of the school do not allow excessive emphasis to be laid on the rote method. This institution follows the principle of secular education evident in Tagore's ''Brahmacharya Ashram'' in Santiniketan.
