Middle School (11-14 Years)

Shaping Identity. Strengthening Purpose. Achieving Excellence for All

At Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School, Middle School (Classes 6 to 9) is where confidence is built, curiosity is deepened, and students begin to discover who they are — and who they’re meant to become. Backed by 41+ years of unwavering commitment to Barrackpore’s children and families, we ensure that these crucial years are filled with guidance, challenge, and purpose. Our curriculum is dynamic and forward-thinking, aligned with national academic standards, yet powered by a deeply personal approach to learning. Students are empowered to think critically, express themselves clearly, and explore their potential — not just in the classroom, but in leadership, the arts, sports, and service. With a strong focus on academics, values, and life-skills, we prepare our learners to take on tomorrow with clarity and courage. Because at Douglas, excellence isn't just a goal — it's a promise we keep for every child. Together with the community of Barrackpore, we are shaping bold thinkers, kind hearts, and future leaders — ready for the world and rooted in values.
