Don Bosco English Medium School, Thakurnagar, is a Catholic Institution established and administered by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Calcutta.

The school year is from April to March.

AIMS OF THE INSTITUITION
The School will foster the all round growth and development of students to their fullest potential spiritually, intellectually and physically. It will guide them in the development of a sound value system and will inculcate in them a deep love and appreciation for their culture and country. The school will try to create an atmosphere in which the students find scope within their own culture milieu, to reflect on their life and to develop not only in knowledge and skills but also in that wisdom which is the fruit of life and its lessons.

The education imparted is characterized by thoroughness, high principles and freedom. The students are helped to grow in responsibility, self-reliance and human maturity, so that they find meaning and purpose in their lives and inspired to live and work for the building up of a just and fraternal society. Hence, the idea of service is set before them, so that they are trained to be concerned for others, to be aware of their needs and to make sacrifices when necessary, to share what they have with the less privileged. Efforts will, therefore, be made to instill a sense of community rather than a spirit of competition.

DBS Anthem: 2
We thank you o Lord, for Don Bosco
In Him we see the wonders of your love
You filled him with gifts of nature and of grace
To lead young people to their home above
    He was a man profoundly human
    Open to the sign of the times
    And yet he was a man, he was a man of God.
Enable us to be his doubles
Faithful to the service of youth
Overcoming hardships with firmness
With hearts filled with your / love.
