History

The Lakshmipat Singhania Education Foundation was founded in the 1960s to promote education in India. The Kolkata branch of the school opened in 1996. It is located at the intersection of Alipore Road and Judge's Court Road.

Student life

The Kolkata Branch has four houses- Vayu (yellow), Agni (red), Jal (blue) and Prithvi (green). The students are divided into the four houses, and a number of events are organised in which the houses compete against each other. The Student Council and Committee elections are held each year in which students choose their representatives from the whole year.

A student from the Kolkata branch topped West Bengal in the 2007 CBSE Class 12 examination.[3]

Elections are held every year, in which the students vote, and choose their prefects.
