Introduction

Calcutta International School, founded in 1953, serves international and local communities in Kolkata from its Anandapur campus. The institution implements the Early Years Foundation Stage framework for early education, transitioning into the Cambridge Primary and Secondary pathways, Cambridge IGCSE, and finally offering both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and Cambridge A-Levels for upper secondary students. Facilities include specialized science laboratories, a dedicated library, art studios, and an audio-visual room. The school is distinctively known for hosting CALMUN, its annual student-led Model United Nations conference that draws participants across the region to debate global affairs. Students also engage in regular community outreach initiatives via the school's active Interact Club. Instruction is entirely in English, with additional modern languages like French, German, and Spanish taught as subjects. The co-educational day school provides transport services across the city via a monitored bus network.
