Welcome to Don Bosco Bandel

Don Bosco School Bandel, founded in January 1978, is an English Medium, Anglo-Indian School for Catholics and Anglo-Indian boys founded and administered by the Salesians of Don Bosco. It is a minority institution belonging to the Catholic Church. Provision is also made for the admission of non-Catholic boys. It is recognized by the Education Department of the Government of West Bengal and affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi. Don Bosco Bandel fulfills the vision of St. John Bosco, Priest and Educator of the 19th century. The Father and Friend of youth, whose sole mission in life was the welfare of the youth, brought about a revolution in the concept of education. The method of education followed in the school is the Preventive System taught and practised by Don Bosco. It is based on Reason, Religion and Loving Kindness. Within a short span of less than fifty years, Don Bosco Bandel has proved its caliber both in curricular and co-curricular activities. Presently the school has 72 teaching staff, 31 non-teaching staff and 2200 students on its rolls.

Principal's Message

Dear Staff, Students, Parents and Well-wishers,
Welcome to this website of Don Bosco School Bandel. As you go through the site you can see that it has been painstakingly prepared to present the various facets of this school to which many of you are associated either as students, parents or admirers.
It is not inappropriate to mention that you are close to Don Bosco School because of the values that the school pledges in its life and activities. The school has always held aloft the teachings of Jesus Christ who says “I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance”. Thus, we are doubly blessed to be associated with this institution that claims to be a beacon to the people who live on both sides of the Hooghly River and radiating the teaching of Christ which assures us of life and life in abundance.
Don Bosco School pledges to make all who enter into its portal into persons of character, competence, conscience, compassion and commitment, who will foster uprightness in public life.
I invite all persons of good will and all who are associated with this institution to beacons in their own settings and thus carry the legacy they have received from being associated with this institution.
God bless you and may Don Bosco guide us. 

Yours truly
Fr. Siby Joseph Vadakel sdb
