An English Medium School in its true sense was an extreme need of Behala for a long time. Hundreds of students, inspite of multifarious difficulties, had to go a long way to quench their thirst for education through the medium of English which is universally accepted to be the Lingua Franca of the World. 

The attention of Dr. J. L. Banerjee, a renowned physician of Behala was drawn to the plights of the students and he earnestly felt the need of a true English Medium School in Behala. With the strong feeling and sincere urge for education, Dr. Banerjee established the Orient Day School in 1977, the academic session of which started from 1979.

In April 1977, Dr. Banerjee most generously transferred the school unconditionally to the Management of The Orient Education Society (registered under the Registration of Societies Act 1961). The School is being managed by a Board of Governors headed by Dr. J. L. Banerjee, the Founder-President.

At first the school was up to Standard III with 100 students on the rolls. DR. P. R. Sengupta, took the charge as the Head of the Institution from 1978 and retired from service on October, 2009 after passing the baton to his able successor Mr.Jayanta Banerjee.

The School is recognized by the Government of West Bengal and is affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi.
