Apostolic Carmel High School Kolkata

On 1 April 1956, Carmel School, then known as St. Marys Carmel School, was started at 19, Deshapriya Park Road, Kolkata. It began as a primary school consisting of the Upper and Lower Kindergarten and Classes I-IV, with English and Bengali as the medium of instruction. The need for more classrooms necessitated expansion and classes V upwards were shifted to 41, Gariahat Road South. In 1969, the school was recognised as a higher secondary school with two streams: Humanities and Science. It is now known as Carmel High School. In 1970, the first batch of Higher Secondary students was sent up. In January 1975, the reorganised scheme of studies introduced by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education was adopted and a new curriculum was implemented. In 1996, Carmel High School was upgraded to Carmel Higher Secondary School with three streams: Science, Commerce and Arts
