Someone has said that Education is weapon launched into the future, using children as missiles. The lotus blooms in murky waters, CBS Beliaghata was started in the year 2010, and initial rented rooms in the Lee Collins Institute, till Class – 4.
It is only on 29 June, 2016, that the school found its permanent premises at 9 Beliaghata Main Road. A temporary structure was built, and now we look forward to a permanent building coming up. CBS Beliaghata was dreams come true. Right from clearing the debris, to putting up a boundary wall, to construct the present structure that housed the school for the last 2 years we are now in great expectation of our permanent school coming up.
We have a great heritage – a history of 140 years, of serving the educational need of a nation. Our mentor, in all thing, spiritual, moral and education, has been our parent school, CBS situated at 72 SN Banerjee Road. It was born out of the vision of Bishop James Mills Thoburn and supported by philanthropists like Sir Robert Laidlaw, Bishop F W Warne and Rev Gorge S Henderson. The missionary zeal of ethical teaching combined with a passionate caring attitude was the hall mark of the school’s character. Hence it is this characteristic that has permeated down through the centuries in all the four branches of CBS, thus highlighting the character of the school.
CBS Beliaghata is one of the very few good English medium schools in North Calcutta. Hence, we have been welcomed with open arms. We are proud to have made a mark in what is known as “adi Kolkata” and in a matter of 3 years have made our presence felt. We are thankful to the local administrator of KMC for having beautified our school façade with a clean pavement, adorned with the statues of Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ, casting their blessings on our school and on all who pass by.
CBS Beliaghata had roll strength of 300 plus, for the session 2018–19. We are unable to take in more students because more classrooms are needed. Parents are eager to enroll their children with us because of our holistic approach to education. The emphasis is not in Academics alone, but in all those activities that build up one’s character and moral. Hence, we give equal importance to Games, to Boy Scouts, to drama, debate and music as well. We have watched our children over the years grow into well balanced, young human beings.
We are close to reaching the ICSE Board Examinations (Class 10) in another 4 years. It will be a day of great celebration, when the tiny tots we have nurtured, will leave school as mature, mentally proficient and emotionally sound, young gentlemen – credit to the parents and to the school. We pray for God’s blessing, on each one of our students, parents and our Chairman, the RT Rev Bishop P S Masih and Mr Raja McGee, our Principal and supportive members of our Managing Committee. We are waiting and watching this sapling school develop into a mighty oak tree!
