Echoing the above motto, Shri Shikshayatan School was founded on January 3, 1954 to empower education amongst young women by enlightening and engaging their bright minds to foster a progressive nation.A lamp has been placed as our logo Prajwalito Dyanamay Padeepaha which means a lamp of knowledge has been lit and that all may bathe in its sight. The blue outline is the indication that the sky is the limit.In the social scenario of 1920, there was a need to popularize the concept of educating young girls by empowering them with knowledge and quality education. With this vision in mind, a small but progressive school, Marwari Balika Vidyalaya was established at Burrabazar under the stewardship of Shri Ghanshyamdas Birla and Shri Jugal Kishore Birla along with a body of enlightened members of the Rajasthani community settled in Kolkata.Later the society was named Shikshayatan Foundation and today under the guidance of this body, four educational institutions find their presence:Shri Shikshayatan School shares a common campus with Shri Shikshayatan College. Both these institutions have earned acclaim over the years to emerge as premier educational institutions in Kolkata owing to the relentless efforts of Late Sitaram Seksaria and Late Bhagirathmal Kanoria two of the esteemed trustees of the society.

Sri Jugal Kishore Birla and Sri Ghanashyam Das Birla had a great role in setting up this school in 1920. It is an English medium, higher secondary and private school. It is run by a parent body 'Shikhshayatan Foundation '. It is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education. Here additional features are swimming pool, basketball, karate, canteen, computer etc. It has been acquired as a result of contesting the British Council International School Award many times. The outcome is satisfactory.

My child studies in this school from pre primary to class x passed out in 2020. It had class room with two fan for 40 student and desk for the student was too small & classes have no proper ventilation (with only 2 fans for 40 student) as I found out during my orientation for new classes. Student are discourage to opt particular stream(science) even if student have good marks and offered humanities stream. Science stream for class xi is offered to the student of other school so that they can get maximum admission charges. As I think my experience with school for 13(Thirteen) years was not encouraging.
