Primary School (6-11 Years)

Rooted in Values. Growing with Barrackpore. Achieving Excellence for All

At Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School, our Primary School programme (Classes 1 to 5) is more than just a foundation — it’s where futures begin to take shape, with care, creativity, and conviction. For over 41 years, Douglas has been a trusted name in Barrackpore’s educational journey, guiding young learners with compassion and clarity. Here, we blend traditional wisdom with modern learning tools, ensuring each child is empowered to explore, question, and grow at their own pace. We nurture thinking minds and feeling hearts — children who are not only academically prepared, but also emotionally resilient, socially aware, and morally grounded. Through a well-balanced approach of interactive learning, joyful discovery, and personal attention, every student is seen, heard, and celebrated. At Douglas, we believe that every child holds limitless potential — and it’s our mission to unlock it. Because in Barrackpore, and beyond, excellence belongs to everyone.
