In 1968, with only five students, the institution, A.K Ghosh Memorial school was founded by Dr. Mrs. Kamala Ghosh.

Previously it was named Auntie Edith's School.

With the increase of students, there was a need for a bigger building. A piece of land was then purchased in Lake Gardens. One of the oldest teachers (a philosopher, friend and guide of Mrs. Ghosh) Mrs. Minati Guha rendered her since help to construct the building and to start the school. Unfortunately Mrs. Guha passed away in 1980.

Mrs. Ghosh was against discrimination between a boy and a girl in the field of education. So she made this school a co-educational one. Here the boys and girls are enjoy the same privileges. This dream institution could not have materialised without the inspiration and guidance from her husband Mr. Ajit Kumar Ghosh.
