Journey & History

Kolkata's Premier International School

RPSG International School brings the vision and resources of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group to education — establishing a world-class international school in Kolkata that combines Cambridge academic excellence with the warmth and values of Bengal's rich cultural heritage.

RPSG International School is the flagship educational initiative of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka (RPSG) Group — one of India's largest and most diversified conglomerates, led by Mr. Sanjiv Goenka. The school reflects the group's commitment to building world-class institutions in India.

Located in Kolkata, West Bengal, the school brings the rigour of the Cambridge International curriculum to one of India's most culturally rich cities — creating an educational environment where global standards meet local depth, and academic excellence meets genuine character formation.

The school is built on the belief that every child deserves access to the finest education available anywhere in the world — and that Kolkata deserves an institution that positions its students competitively on the global stage while remaining rooted in the values and spirit of Bengal.

"Excellence Without Exception" — at RPSG International School, every student — regardless of where they begin — is expected, supported, and empowered to achieve their personal best and contribute meaningfully to the world.
