Chowringhee High School
Chowringhee High School was founded by Mrs. Kumudini Mehrotra & Ms. Meera Singh in 1964 as a Kindergarten School. Under their able guidance the school grew upto primary level i.e. from Nursery to Class V. Gradually the secondary level was added in 1986 and from "Kindergarten" our school metamorphosed into a "High" school. Over the years, our school has progressed substantially and has "carved" a name of its own.
Our main aim is to provide sound education for all round development at a minimal cost. The aim is to imbibe good moral values like honesty, punctuality and social service so that our students can become responsible citizens of tomorrow. Along with sound academics, there is an opportunity for the students to take part in co-curricular activities. A school has a major role to play in personality development of a child. It is here that their potentials are brought out. Hence our teachers are encouraged to create a healthy atmosphere to guide them.
Besides providing sound academic pursuits, our school believes in the motto "Service before Self". Our school inculcates a feeling of caring and sharing among students towards our society. We are social beings hence we must take up some "tasks" for the betterment of our society.
Interact Club
The Interact Club was formed in the year 2000 for all round development. It is the club “of the students, by the students, for the students.” Students from Class VIII onwards have to compulsorily become the member of the Interact Club. The list of activities of this club is endless. Through our various social activities we have not only won accolades but many ‘hearts’ too. This club is involved in a cleanliness drive, free health camps, mass feeding (on Saturdays), a literacy programme for street children etc.
All donations to the Trust are exempt under section 80G of the I.T Act,1961.
