Central Hindu School, located in Kamachha at the heart of the sacred city Varanasi, is one of India's largest educational institutions.

The institution was formerly known as Central Hindu College, and its Senior High School program (11th standard) was previously called Pre University Course.

In July 1898, Annie Besant, a renowned freedom-fighter, founded the school with Dr. Arthur Richardson, a science graduate from England, as its principal.

The school campus covers an area of 70 acres and encompasses the school, hostel, and a range of facilities such as laboratories for physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science, psychology, fine art, German language, French, Italian, artificial intelligence, coding, programming, Python, C++, Java and also include an agricultural sector.

The school also organizes cultural programs at a grand level, such as Krishna Janmastami and the anniversary of Annie Besant (October 1), among others.
