In early 1955, the order acquired two large plots of land in the Circus Park area of the city on which to build a school.

In November 1957, with the building's completion in sight, Charles Dyer was appointed the first rector and principal of Don Bosco Park Circus.

[4] The campus is dominated by the H-shaped four-storey main school building which has an outer courtyard with the statue of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, along with statues of other animals, such as lions and giraffes, and an inner courtyard with a bust of John Bosco.

[5] In addition to its annual celebration of Rabindra Jayanti (the birthday of Rabindranath Tagore), the school hosts several interschool events in Kolkata, the most prominent of which is Bosco Fest.

One of Kolkata's oldest inter-school festivals, it is held annually in late July or early August.
