About Us

In 1982, Sureswar Dutta, a passionate social activist and dedicated lawyer, laid the foundation of Maria’s Day School in his Howrah residence. What started as a modest primary school with just a handful of students gradually transformed into a pioneering institution, recognized for its excellence in education. Over the years, the school flourished under the visionary leadership of Amitava Datta, the Founder Chairman, who played a crucial role in expanding its reach. From a small group of 10 students, Maria’s Group of Institutes has grown into a vast educational network with seven schools and two colleges across West Bengal, nurturing the academic aspirations of over 10,000 students today

More than just a school, Maria’s Day School is a hub of learning, innovation, and holistic development. It serves as a center of excellence, embracing students from diverse backgrounds and fostering an inclusive learning environment. With a strong alumni base, the institution has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to achieve remarkable success in various fields. The school has consistently produced top- performing students in ICSE and ISC examinations, earning recognition for its high academic standards and unwavering commitment to student success

Chairman’s Message

Maria’s Day School aspires to provide quality education to its students. The National Education Policy 2020 speaks of holistic education for children. It includes apart from academic, cocurricular and extra curricular activities, sports etc. All round development of a Man is the need of the hour and the national requirement. Just getting a degree or a certificate does not ensure employability or befitting for getting a job. Country needs befitting job seekers and simultaneously job creators and that is the national need

Swami Vivekananda said Education is the manifestation of perfection already in Man.So, the perfect Man to evolve out of the system ofend education. Schooling is the vital part where a child grows from kid to adulthood. The maximum period of educational life is spent in a school. The school with its physical and human infrastructure is responsible to provide this ambience to all its children

Maria’s Day School works towards the above and seeks cooperation from all quarters. Career building and character building must go hand in hand to make nation building during this era of Science, Technology, Artificial intelligence and robotics

Thanks to all 

Amitava Datta 

Chairman, Maria’s Group of Institute
