The school started with classes from nursery to class - VII in the same premises in the year 1968. From the beginning it was a coeducational institution, privately run under the governance of the Society - known as “PATHA BHAVAN SOCIETYâ€. In 1968 when the number of students increased to an extent that it was difficult to accommodate all of them in the existing premises at 103 A & C, Ballygunge Place, Kolkata - 700019, the primary section was shifted out to 13/1, Palm Avenue, Kolkata - 700019. Similarly when the Primary Section expanded, the founders thought that a Montessori environment was ideal at the pre primary level and a Montessori Section was set up at 5/1, Swinhoe Street, Kolkata - 700019 in 1976.
