La Martiniere has one of the most distinguished history of any school in Kolkata, or in fact, India. Founded in 1836 this school has achieved an enviable reputation in the field of academics as well as extra-mural activities. It is without doubt one of the top schools in Kolkata. Even though it has been in existence for upwards of a 150 years it has always maintained a standard of un-impeachable integrity and has made sure that each and every boy that passes through its doors faces the outside world with a sound character. Its alumni have distinguished itself in service of our mighty country both in war and peace. Some of Indias biggest names have had their childhood shaped under the Martinian flags. These include the likes of Leander Paes, Vijay Mallya, etc. Even while carrying on the traditions such as rugby, boxing, a school orchestra, etc. to ensure that our boys have well-rounded educations, La Martiniere still maintains academic excellence. Our boys regularly top the all India public exams and always finish in the top echelon of any competitive exam that they give. It is truly a school to be proud of.
