The School: Founded in the year 1951 with just a handful of girls, Ashok Hall Girls' Higher Secondary School has blossomed into one of the premier educational institutions of the country. It is the second education institution founded under Ashok hall Group of Schools.
Trusted over 70 years as one of the best CBSE Board-affiliated schools in Kolkata, our school curriculum is designed to help prepare children for opportunities and challenges – both in and out of the classroom.
Ashok Hall Alumni, now placed professionally across the world, bring home stories about how we have been able to guide them and broaden their horizons to venture out into today’s competitive world with confidence.
Our Junior Section (Lower Infant to Class 5) is located on Palm Avenue, and our Senior Section for Classes 6 – 12 is located on AJC Bose Road, Minto Park; both central to the city.
" School to me is the many teachers who challenged and inspired. Mrs R Mukherjee (English) and Mrs S Mazumdar (Economics) were two such towering figures for me.

"Mrs Sanyal patiently tolerated my total lack of mathematical reasoning, Mrs Kapoor encouraged my interest in Literature, Mrs Sen instilled an abiding love for History, Mrs. Ali generously indulged digressions in the Political Science class, and Mrs Majumdar who never taught me but was the best 'class teacher' she ever had. It was JG, Mrs Jharna Ganguli, who made bearable the challenging years in high school!"
