St. Xavier's Collegiate School, Kolkata

In November 1843, a fire broke out at the Sans Souci Theatre, Kolkata. This accident forever altered the history of the "The City of Joy”. While fire is indeed a destroyer, it is a purifier too - one that eliminates the “old” and paves the way for something new. The fire that burnt down the Sans Souci Theatre rekindled another fire: "The Fire of Education." On the 16th of January 1860, a small group of Belgian Jesuits opened the doors and hearts to create what is now a symbol of excellence in education: St. Xavier’s Collegiate School, Kolkata.

After 165 years since its inception, St. Xavier’s Collegiate School remains an enduring source of inspiration for all. As an internationally recognized and esteemed institution, it continues to reach new heights of excellence. To become men for others and to keep this fire of passion burning has been a major part of Xaverian culture and it is one that all future generations look to uphold.
