The Story of Our Foundation

St. Augustine's School was established in 1990 under the devoted stewardship of the Crescent Educational & Welfare Society on Hill Cart Road, Kurseong. Born out of a vision to provide exceptional, holistic English-medium education to boys and girls across the Darjeeling hills and eastern plains, the institution has blossomed into one of the region's respected day and boarding establishments.

Affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi, the school prepares candidates for both the ICSE (Class X) and the ISC (Class XII) examinations.
