Modern English School, Kahilipara

Modern English School was established in the year 1984. The journey started on the 12th of June 1984 with a small group of eleven students and six teachers with classes from I to VI. Late Kuladhar Das, who worked tirelessly to set up the school, founded it. It has been a long journey since 1984. He always believed that achieving excellence in life is not impossible if we work hard for it. According to him, if Modern English School has to grow as an institution, each and every member of this school must have determination, perseverance and patience. We have always asserted that each child is special and unique in his/her own way. Our emphasis has always been on an enabling teaching and learning environment as it is the positive learning environment that develops the potential of each child ultimately benefiting the society as a whole. Today the school has a junior wing - Modern Academy, classes from I-XII in MES, 1500 students, 65 teachers, and a campus of more than 2 acres. Situated in a calm, quiet and picturesque environment at Kahilipara, our student population comprises of many ethnic and indigenous groups – Bodo, Rabha, Mising, Deuri, Karbi, and Dimasa along with the Nepali, Bengali and Assamese community. We rejoice in our diversity and all-accommodating philosophy. At Modern English School we try to design the curriculum and lesson plans keeping the students' levels in mind and incorporate new technology in teaching-learning processes so that learning can be closer to life. We encourage our local community to put their children in our school and give us a chance to serve the society better. We believe that the best way to serve the society is to do our job efficiently and actively.
