The School is run on the same ideals and principles as its sister institutions, for these ideals and principles have already earned both of them a high reputation in academic and co-curricular activities alike.
The first Academic Session of the School commenced 31 March 2015.
GHS IISER Kolkata Campus is a school where pupils come first, and all else later. The school believes that education is concerned with pupils as persons, not with how they can be trained for a career.
The school aims at training minds, not stuffing them, and therefore, encourages pupils to think for themselves, and tries to kindle their curiosity, so that they may venture out on their own beyond the beaten track of the syllabi.
The motto of the school is to let knowledge light our way to wisdom, and wisdom to emancipation.
