St Helen's School, Kurseong
St Helen's School, Kurseong

During the British Regime, Kurseong had witnessed the foundation of some of the best schools managed by missionaries. The Victorian buildings still reminds one of the bygone era.

From a School in a rented house named “Charleville” in 1890 consisting of only 12 students, St. Helen’s School has grown up in 116 years to a “Lovely Mountain Home” for the students. The school was founded by sisters named Mother Marie Therese and Sister M. Winifred under the patronage of St. Helen, a British Princess and mother of the Great Constantine.

The sisters were the daughters of well known Belgian Religious Sister Marie Thérèse Haze who founded the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross” in 1833 for educating people in her country .
