The Present
Loyola High School is a Catholic institution established and administered by the Catholic Archdiocese of Kolkata. Established in 1961 by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese, it functions within the rights and powers granted to religious and
linguistic minorities by the Constitution of India (Art. 29 and 30).
School is recognized by Education Dept of Govt of West Bengal and under Anglo Indian Board of West Bengal and affiliated to the Indian School Certificate of Secondary Education Examination, Delhi.
It is an English medium school for boys, offering ICSE (Indian Council of Secondary Education, Delhi) and ISC (Indian School Certificate, Delhi) for Commerce and Arts. It caters to students from classes 1-12. Bengali or Hindi is taught
as second language from class 1. Apart from prescribed Council subjects, the curriculum includes Religious Instructions (for Catholics), Moral Science (for Non-Catholics), Singing, Computer Science, etc are optional.
Development
One striking feature of the school is the pronounced urge of pupils to perform better despite coming from non-English speaking background. This is remarkably reflected in their results in Board exams.
Future Vision
Impart education to Catholic students as well as children of other faiths, including the most deprived and down trodden, irrespective of caste, creed and community
Foster all round growth and development to full potential - spiritually, intellectually and physically
Help grow in responsibility, self enhancement and human maturity to develop a sound sense of value and inculcate a deep bond and appreciation for culture and country
Impart education characterized by thoroughness, high principles and freedom
Inspire to live and work to build a just and fraternal society and instill a sense of community rather than a spirit of competition
Set the idea of service to train to be concerned for others, to be aware of their needs and to make sacrifices where necessary and to share what they have with the less privileged.
Admission Formalities

Social:
The Social Service programme of the school requires that each month some leisure time be devoted to actual work with under-privileged members of the society, especially children. Parents are particularly recommended to encourage their
ward in the implementation of this programme as it is through this service students learn to appreciate the needs of the country and are motivated to a practical response.
