Chowringhee High School is a co-educational school recognized by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education(unaided)up to Class-X. It was founded by Ms.Kumudini Mehrotra and Late Ms.Meera Singh in 1964 as a kindergarten school. Under their able guidance, the school grew up to primary level i.e from Nursery to Class-IV. Gradually the Secondary level was added in 1986 and from "Kindergarten" the School metamorphosed into a "High" School. In 2008 it opened a Montessori named-"Blooming Buds" for the tiny tots.

Over the years, the school has progressed substantially and has ‘carved' a name of its own within the city. The School is managed by the "Meera Singh Education Trust"(A Public Charitable Trust). Due to persistent efforts, the School has risen from anonymity to limelight. The main aim is to provide a sound education regardless of caste, creed and religion for an all round development of children at minimal cost. Communication with Parents/Guardians : The school emphasises on active involvement of parents/guardians in the education process of their children. Active involvement is required for the all-round development of their wards. Parents/guardians are expected to attend the Parent-Teacher Meetings which are held at regular intervals throughout the year to discuss the performance/difficulties/any other problem of their children. Parents are requested to study the school diary and reports with care and consult the school authorities if necessary. They are also welcome to visit the school to meet the Principal/Headmistress/Class Teacher during specified hours to discuss their ward's progress.
