The Oriental Seminary started in 1829 by the educator Gour Mohan Addy, was the earliest privately run, first-rate school for children of Hindu parents in Kolkata(then known as Calcutta). It was open only to boys of Hindu parents. It was possibly India’s first fully private school, as even Hindu School, then known as Hindu College,and also Hare school had to abide by certain government guidelines. In earlier days, students wanting to study English had to go to the missionary schools, where they were subject to substantial religious influence. The establishment of a school for learning English, free from religious influences was a major contribution of Addy.Traditional Indian education centres which taught Sanskrit and/or Persian had started fading out.
I am a student of this school. Actually it is a great school for the learning environment but my true opinion is that the performance of the school is declining day by day. The teachers are very helpful and friendly but there is a lack of students and there are many problems in the school so I do not like this school completely.
Good school with historical attachment
This is a very old school but the infrastructure is very well. Teachers are very good and well behaved. Very nice place.☺☺☺
Homage to the Heritage , but suffers Declination at every aspect at this moment .
