Achieving Excellence for All — From the Heart of Barrackpore
At Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School, we believe that the early years lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning. That’s why our pre-primary curriculum is proudly powered by HEI — inspired by the globally acclaimed Finnish method of teaching, where every child learns through exploration, play, and creativity.
This unique approach blends joy with purpose, promoting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development in a nurturing, curiosity-driven environment. Our classrooms are designed to foster independence, imagination, and meaningful connection — so children not only learn but love to learn.
Rooted in the vibrant community of Barrackpore, our early learning centre is more than a classroom — it’s a joyful space where young minds begin their journey toward becoming thoughtful, confident individuals.
Here at Douglas, Achieving Excellence for All begins the moment a child walks through our doors — and continues for a lifetime.
Douglas Memorial — Where childhood is celebrated, futures are shaped, and Barrackpore’s next generation begins its brightest journey.
