A Brief History of the School

Modern School is an English medium Pre-primary preparatory school with classes from Play Group to Kindergarten. The school was founded in 1953 by Mrs. Enid Isaac, B.A., B.T., (w/o Late Brigadier George S. Isaac), in a small way with only five students. It was the first English medium school in Barrackpore subdivision.

In the fifties and sixties the school catered mainly to the children of expatriate Britishers of the various jute mills and the officers of British Gurkha units posted in Barrackpore. Later children of Indian Army and Air Force Officers and from all walks of civilian life found it to be a good preparatory school.

Admission to the school is open to all without any bias of caste or creed. The main intake is in Lower Nursery (3+) for which forms are available from September. Admission to other classes is by admission test if and when a vacancy occurs.

Children who have a certificate of good conduct are welcome to apply for admission to the upper primary classes in our sister school Modern English Academy (a private unaided Christian higher secondary school, affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi).

Modern School celebrates its 70th year in 2023.

Our Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Little Learners,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to a new academic year at Modern School!

Our kindergarten is a magical place designed to spark curiosity, build friendships, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. We provide a safe, nurturing, and cheerful “home away from home” where your child can play, explore, and grow with confidence. Our dedicated teachers guide our students through the wonders of letters, numbers, and the world around them through stories, songs, and play.

Parents, you are our most important partners. Your collaboration is key to your child’s success, and we encourage you to be an active part of our school family.

We are thrilled to begin a year filled with laughter, learning, and discovery. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s foundational years.
