Founded on April 19, 1865, by the St. Mark's church Chaplain, the school took the name of Bishop Cotton of Calcutta. After five years , in 1870, the school acquired its present site of 13 acres at a cost of Rs. 22,000. This school was a co-education oriented and a separate school 'Bishop Cotton Girls School' was started exclusively for girls later, thus making way for Bishop Cotton Boys School exclusively for boys. The school aims: To impart knowledge that encompasses the prescribed syllabi of the institution as well as that of the world beyond the classroom. To build and strengthen character that will not crumble when tested in the crucible of adulthood. To provide opportunities for the development of leadership qualities that can be utilised in the future for the creation of a better India, one that can hold its head high in the community of nations. And, most important, to give all glory for every breathing moment, to God The Most High.
