Overview

The school was founded on April 1, 1954 by Shri Satikanta Guha and Smt. Prityalata Guha with just 20 students and few committed teachers. South Point School, Kolkata was the first co-educational school to be established in the city with affiliation to the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education. The first class X batch passed out in 1958 and in 1960 the school was upgraded to higher secondary level.
