History
The School was formed by the Bishop of Calcutta and the Metropolitan of India under the Caption- “Durgapur Project” in 1963. The School, however, opened only in 1966. With the formation of the Church of North India in 1970 and the creation of the Diocese of Durgapur, the school became a part of the new Diocese. The actual handover took place only in 1994 and the Diocese of Durgapur thus became the founder body of the School.

Today the school is run by a Board of Governors under the Chairmanship of the Right Reverend Sameer Isac Khimla, the Bishop of Durgapur, who was installed on the 1 st of December 2019. Under his visionary leadership, the school will also increase manifold in the coming years.

The first two ICSE (10) batches on 1983 and 1984 appeared from St Thomas’s Boys’ School, Khidderpore. By 1985, ICSE (10) candidates were appearing from the school’s centre and in 2014, the thirty-first batch of ICSE (10) was sent up.

About the school
One of the oldest schools within the Diocese, St. Michael’s was established in 1966 and has grown to be one of the leading educational institutes in the District. The Motto of the school “Aedifices Et Plantes” meaning "to build and to plant" encapsulates the hopes instilled within school administration and students which is to build up future generations of Michaelites to become contributing members to society and planting within them values and lessons which help them navigate the waters of life with kindness and integrity.

St Michael's aims to create an environment where the student can obtain an excellent educational foundation which will serve them well as they move onto higher studies. The school also has a diverse and interesting range of co-curricular and sports activities which gives all students a chance to find what suits them the best. Even during changing circumstances, the school is quick to adapt and prioritizes the needs of the students - be they mental or educational.

The Mission of the School is to create an environment conducive to growth for every child where a supportive community of students and teachers help each individual to grow into principled, contributing and accountable adults. By doing so, St Michael’s has built a reputation for academic excellence, co-curricular activity, and integrity.
