Our School:

 Loreto Day School, Sealdah, founded in 1854, is a large English Medium school of 1400 girls, 700 of whom are so poor, they have to have all their needs met by the school, while the other 700 are able to pay the regular school fees.  All these children study and play together as equals.  A further 300 wander in from street every day and are taught by the regular children until such time as they are ready to join formal school. 

 The school (although an Anglo Indian school) is affliated to the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education and the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education.
