The Scottish Church Collegiate School is one of the leading educational institutions of West Bengal having a history of 180 years. It is situated at 73, Bidhan Sarani, Kolkata - 700006.The School was founded in 1830 by the Rev. Dr. Alexander Duff, who came to Calcutta as the first missionary of the Church of Scotland to India. He was actively supported by Raja Rammohan Roy, the father of modern India. Rammohan helped Dr. Duff to secure Kamal Bose's House on Chitpur Road and actively supported him. The school was established at the residence of the-then famous Firinghi Kamal Bose on 51 Upper Chitpur Road . Thus, the General Assembly’s Institution publicly started on the 13th of July, 1830. Initially it started with only five boys who were introduced to Rev. Duff by the Raja and that number rapidly increased to three hundred in the course of time. According to some legends he stood at the gate of the school on 13th July, 1830 to give it a good start as there were grave doubts in the mind of the locals. Duff was determined to teach every useful branch of knowledge to the students and saturated his instructions with teachings from the Bible. He made Bengali the medium of instruction. Dr. Duff devised a plan for teaching a large number of pupils simultaneously. This unique style of teaching was very different from the then existing mechanical method of teaching. After a year Duff arranged to hold a public examination of his pupils at the Freemasion's Lodge on Dharmatala Street. The Calcutta Gazette of 15th August, 1831 wrote about the native school examination. The high level of efficiency for which the school of Alexander Duff was noted and earned him a lot of appreciation. A report about the amazing performance of Duff’s students was published in the "Songbad Probhakar", the only newspaper of those days. Due to increase in numerical strength of the students the school was shifted to a palatial building, arguably the property of Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah on the Nimtala Ghat Street (Now Jorabagan Police station) and continued there till March 1844. After that the school was again shifted to Cornwallis Square (Now Urqhart Square) and renamed as “The Scottish Churches Collegiate School”. In 1910 the school was finally transferred and settled in the newly erected building on the Cornwallis Street and in its centenary year again renamed as “The Scottish Church Collegiate School”. Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has earmarked the main premises of the school as “Heritage Building” (GRADE- I). A structure was later built on the play ground at RoyBagan Street, facing the main building. This was enlarged in 1938 to provide for adequate laboratories required by the new syllabus of the Calcutta University. This building was further enlarged in 1958 to cope with the increasing roll strength and later named as "Hensman Block" after the then Headmaster Mr. J.C. Hensman. Plans are afoot to add another floor on top of the Hensman Block to house a state of the art Computer Lab.

Hindu School is a school in Kolkata (Calcutta), India. It is located on College Street, in the vicinity of Hare School, College Square, Presidency College and the University of Calcutta. Hindu College, the school's predecessor, was established in 1817 by Raja Rammohan Roy, David Hare, Radhakanta Deb and other educationists. In 1855, the pathsala part of Hindu College became Hindu School and the other part (mahapathshala) became Presidency College. The date of establishment of the Hindu College, 1817, is considered the establishment date of both Hindu school and Presidency College. The school is one of the oldest existing schools in Calcutta and India.The school has grades 1 to 12 and the language of instruction is Bengali. Students appear for 10+(Madhyamik) examination under West Bengal Board of Secondary Education and 12+(Higher Secondary Examination) examination under West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education.

Calcutta Boys' School was founded by the Rev. James Mills Thoburn (Methodist Missionary to India, and later Missionary Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church), and was opened in 1877. It was endowed by the late Robert Laidlaw and others interested in the education of the sons of the Anglo-Indian and domiciled European community.OriginsThe origins of CBS are closely linked with the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church in India. In January 1873, the Reverend William Taylor founded the work of the Thoburn Methodist Episcopal Church in Calcutta (Kolkata). He was succeeded by the Reverend James Mills Thoburn. The latter's ardent preaching soon rendered the Entally Baptist Chapel unable to cope with the increasing number of converts. In February 1874, a new chapel was opened at 145 Dharamtolla Street, built at a cost of 16,000 rupees largely due to the generosity of George Bowen of Bombay who donated 10,000 rupees. Soon even this chapel proved unable to accommodate the growing congregation, until a larger church was constructed on Dharamtolla Street, where it stands today. The New Thoburn Church was dedicated on December 31, 1875. In 1888 Rev. James Mills Thoburn was elected Missionary Bishop of India and Malaysia - the first ever Missionary Bishop in India.

Hare School is one of the oldest schools in Kolkata, India, teaching grades one to twelve under the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education and the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education. The boys school was established by the Scottish watch-maker, David Hare, with the help of the social reformer, Ram Mohan Roy. The establishment date is not agreed upon, but the official year of establishment is 1818. The school is situated opposite the Presidency University, and is also adjacent to the University of Calcutta.HistoryAfter the David Hare Book Society established the Hindu College in 1817, and the Calcutta School Society in 1818, David Hare established a school opposite the college in the heart of College Street. It was called Arpuli Pathshala, later as Colootala Branch School, but is now named Hare School, and has been since 1867.CampusThe combined campus of the Hare School and Presidency College is one of the largest in Kolkata. The ownership of the campus has been contested, with disagreements arising in relation to whether students have access to the College's field and gates. The ownership issue was escalated after a widely-publicised incident of "eve teasing" (public sexual harassment towards women enacted by men) inside the college campus, though restrictions were normalised eventually.
