National Gems School was founded in 1968 by the Late Ganesh Prasad Khanna at 629, Diamond Harbour Road, Kolkata 700034. He was a visionary with the desire to impart education to all segments of society. By 1993, the school was upgraded to class VIII and was poised at a delicate stage of obtaining affiliation from a recognised body.
It was then that a Trust was formed by the name of Shaw Education Foundation at the initiation of the Late Narayan Shaw and Mr. Sudip Kumar Khanna.
National Gems Higher Secondary School situated in Behala, Kolkata has to its credit a central location and excellent infrastructure. The school has completed over three decades of imparting quality education – the stress being on holistic development of children and completely aligned to the current National Education Policy.
Importance is given to academics. Students are hand held right from their initial year up to their final preparations for board examinations. We also encourage them to be competitive through the different Olympiads and the like to gain confidence. The school nurtures an atmosphere to help students be creative. Co-curricular activities are encouraged for the development of the individual through internal programs and participation in inter-school competitions at regional and national levels. A strong mind needs a strong body. Sports and various other field events are included in the calendar keeping in mind the special interests. A strong sense of pride in Indian Culture, high levels of discipline and moral values are stressed upon in shaping young impressionable minds in an environment which is like a home away from home.
It is in keeping with the school motto ‘Wisdom with Knowledge’ that proud students of the yesteryears have found a sound footing in their own areas of interest spanning a wide array of professions. Their testimony is a proof of the spirit of all concerned in the school.
