Young students are occasionally compelled to leave the city in search of higher education in the west, therefore it is crucial to keep them in the city by offering a world-class education that will prepare them for the workforce.

Swarnim International School (SIS), which is situated at 180 NSC Bose Road in the Rajpur Sonarpur Municipality and serves as a gateway to Baruipur and the Sundarbans, seeks to do this. SIS is a cutting-edge institution with a capacity of 2000 students in pre-primary to class twelve. It now has 450 students. It mixes the finest of international education with deep Indian roots and reasonable tuition. SIS has also won Kolkata’s number 2 in Proprietary Pre-Schools twice, No. 1 Best Library and Reading Culture thrice and the Value for Money Award twice by Education World. The School has won the Happy School Award from Eduexcellence.

The Trustees of the school are Shri HP Budhia, Chairman of Patton Group, Shri Probir Roy, Ex-Sheriff of Kolkata, and Swati Sarawagi, Founder Director of the School.

SIS organized a panel discussion on the school grounds with participation from the founder director Swati Sarawagi, the principal Rumjhumi Biswas, and well-known actress and mother of a young child Koneenica Banerjee to discuss the various innovative initiatives of the school and develop a structured road map for students.

Speaking at the event, Koneenica said “We did not have such schools or facilities when we were growing up. Times have changed and there is a need for such schools that can provide students with the necessary facilities. It is essential that we know that the way we have grown up is different from the way our kids are growing up. Even the parents have to realize this”.

“While preparing a child for the CBSE, we want to provide them with cutting-edge infrastructure, qualified, experienced, and caring faculty, and we aim to establish a new standard of quality in education that is international in its outlook. We are currently developing a class every year, going from playgroup to the eighth grade. To meet the needs of all the various youngsters, we are using the Multiple Intelligences Theory in our classrooms” said founder and director Swati Sarawagi.
