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.

At Maria’s Day School, education goes beyond textbooks and examinations. The institution is equipped with state–of–the–art facilities, including modern science and computer laboratories, digital classrooms, a well–stocked library, and expansive sports infrastructure, ensuring a well–rounded learning experience. The school places equal emphasis on academics, extracurricular activities, and moral values, striving to develop students into confident, responsible, and compassionate individuals.

By combining cutting–edge technology with a deep–rooted emphasis on character building, Maria’s Day School creates a dynamic learning atmosphere where students not only excel academically but also cultivate essential life skills.

Its commitment to quality education, discipline, and ethical values has solidified its position as one of the most prestigious educational institutions in West Bengal, preparing students to lead with knowledge, integrity, and confidence in an ever–evolving world.

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, co–curricular 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 co–operation 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
