The school is considered to be having one of the best campus in India.

The school was founded in 1907, and is named after Jesuit Archbishop of Calcutta (now Kolkata), Paul Goethals. The land for the school was donated by the Maharaja of Bardhaman. Goethals has always been regarded as one of the best schools in India. The school was previously all boys but the introduction of higher secondary section led to the introduction of girls in the school. The school is known to induce patriotism in the hearts of the students who have studied and passed out from this school. The school has special student leaders who are elected by the concerned authorities during the start of the academic session. They are given special blue coloured sweaters and coats which are a shade brighter than the rest of the school students.[1][2][3][4]
