St Stephens School

The legacy of St. Stephen’s School started in the year 1971 under the aegis of the Diocese of Barrackpore, Church of North India recognizing the Church’s mission of imparting quality education at an affordable cost to the common masses. The premises of St. Stephen’s Church, Dum Dum was chosen by the Diocese to set up the school which, back then, only had a few students and a handful of teachers who dedicated themselves to the cause of the Diocese. Since then the school has never looked back and has proven itself time and again to be the largest and the best known school in the suburb of North Kolkata.
