Why St. Paul's School Stands Apart

Real Reflections on Life at St. Paul's School

Darjeeling is steeped in history and one of the most historic properties in this beautiful town is the iconic St Paul’s Darjeeling.The idea for an #AngloIndian school was conceived way back in 1823, yes 200 years ago, to meet the needs of the British and Anglo-Indian communities in Calcutta.The school was originally set up in the city of joy itself on Park Street.It moved to #Darjeeling in 1863 to an estate purchased for a ₹45,000 roughly about $550. Later it expanded and moved to #JalPahar where it now stands, strong and stately.Today, number 1 in Bengal and among the leading schools in india, it is home to over 750 students from all over the world.

One of the oldest school in Darjeeling with nice architecture and large campus. Can’t comment much on the education system as I am not an alumni or not even remotely related to one, however I have heard good things about the school. It has been shooting location for a lot of Bollywood movies too. I was there to explore the campus. Loved the architecture, the church and the large trees!

It's the best school in the continent. This school has a glorious past that superseded it's beauty. The nature and scenic view of this school is breathtaking. It's situated at the top of the Jalapahar in Darjeeling district. Students from each corner of the country as well as from abroad come here for study. The education system and the disciplined life they give builds a child's future. The infrastructure is very nice as seems like a British castle and the shape of the buildings is very nice to watch. When you are in Darjeeling, must pay a visit at St Paul's school.
