The main school building built with red bricks with a tinge of Anglo-Indian architecture is itself a place of visit in the city of Krishnanagar.

The first principal of the school was David Lester Richardson, who later served as the principle of Presidency College, Kolkata.

Beni Madhab Das, teacher of Subhash Chandra Bose at Ravenshaw Collegiate School also taught here.
