St. Ignatius High School, founded in 2011 next to the Theotokos Girls’ Orphanage in Bakeswar, is one of the educational units of the Philanthropic Society of the Orthodox Church based in Kolkata. Children from the poorest families in the area are admitted to school either free of charge or with minimal tuition.
The school provides high-quality education in a safe, beautiful and pollution-free environment. Teaching courses are in English, Bengali, and Hindi, giving children a significant advantage in India’s increasingly globalized job market.
