Shaping a vision of academic success for all students.
Learning Begins With Us
Chandernagore Kanailal Vidyamandir (French Section), nestled in the historical town of Chandernagore—a former French colony in West Bengal, India—holds a distinguished past. Established in 1862 by Jesuit missionary Father Maglower Barthe as ‘Ecole de Sainte Marie,’ the school originally taught in Bengali and French, adhering to French educational standards. It evolved over the years, introducing English education in 1872 and undergoing several name changes,
the most significant in 1948 when it was renamed ‘Kanailal Vidyamandir’ in honor of the martyr Kanailal Dutta. Following Chandernagore’s integration into India in 1952, the school came under the governance of the West Bengal State Government and is currently managed by the Chandernagore Municipal Corporation, maintaining its unique French educational heritage.
