ICSE SCHOOLS IN KOLKATA

Education in Kolkata may be broadly classified into Secondary and Post-Secondary Education. This is imparted by a range of parallel systems of school education, and the schools of Kolkata are affiliated to either of the following organizations:

 Cambridge International Examinations

 Central Board of Secondary Education

 Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations

 Edexcel

 International Baccalaureate

 National Institute of Open Schooling

 West Bengal Board of Madrasah Education

 West Bengal Board of Secondary Education

 West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education

 West Bengal Council of Rabindra Open Schooling

 West Bengal State Council of Vocational Education and Training

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, formed in the year 1958, is a private board that conducts the ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education), that is, an examination in a course of general education, as per the recommendations of the NEP (New Education Policy) 1986, India, through English medium. Presently, in Kolkata, parents are preferring schools affiliated to ICSE for their children, perhaps due to the following benefits:

 They provide global content.

 They offer new teaching methodologies.

 They encourage an analytical mind.

 They ensure that the students develop a strong base in English.

 They give the students an edge when it comes to IELTS and TOEFL Examinations, thereby helping the students materialize their aspiration to pursue higher studies abroad.

 Their curriculum which emphasizes on subjects, like Arts, Language and Science, becomes extremely beneficial for students, who choose to pursue career in Literature, Arts and Management.

However, the ICSE syllabus is challenging, and the cost of studying is a bit on the hefty side.

The ICSE schools, in spite of their challenging curriculum mainly focusing on Arts, Language and Science, give importance to extra-curricular activities too, like Cricket, Basketball, Football and Athletics as Outdoor Sports activities, and Chess, Table Tennis, Martial Arts and Skating as Indoor Sports Activities, Language Club Activities, Science Club Activities, besides activities like Craft, Cookery, Dance, Origami, Pottery, Puppetry, Science Modeling, Tabla, Tribal Art, and such others.

The top-notch ICSE schools in Kolkata include the following:

 AG Church Junior School

 Assembly of God Church School

 Calcutta Boys School

 Calcutta Girls High School

 Delhi Public School Newtown

 Don Bosco School

 Don Bosco School Liluah

 Frank Anthony Public School

 La Martiniere For Boys

 La Martiniere Girls School

 Modern High School For Girls

 MP Birla Foundation Higher Secondary School

 Sri Sri Academy

 St. James School

 The Modern Academy

 Vivekananda Mission School

In ICSE, the minimum age for getting admission in LKG is 4 and above years, and for UKG, the minimum age is 5 and above years. Students thus fitting in the eligibility criteria are open to apply. In ICSE, students seeking admission in 4th Grade and above may be required to appear for an Admission Test, where relevant questions may be asked from Languages, Science and Mathematics. The student-score will form a cardinal pre-requisite for admission.

Due to the impressive range of benefits, the schools affiliated to ICSE are highly recommended for the children of the present era, especially for those who are aspiring to study abroad later.
