Welcome to Assembly of Christ School! The best school in Barrackpore, kolkata. ACS is a place where children are encouraged to say “I see it, I get it and I can do it”. Today, the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be life-long learners, critical thinkers and productive members of an ever-changing global community. The British Council has acknowledged the efforts of Assembly of Christ School and awarded the school with the prestigious International Dimension in School Award (IDS). Assembly of Christ School had collaborated with schools at the international level where they had shared their ideas on various activities having Global Dimensions and enriched themselves with new thoughts and vision. The collaboration helped the pupils to have a global outlook and adopt newer approaches to activities. Our school has always looked forward to connect globally where pupils are given the right platform to develop their communication skills. Assembly of School has always collaborated and looks forward to collaborating and communicating with schools across the world.
In this transient world, the young minds are countered with drastic changes in their environment. During the school days, they need a safe, tranquil and natural learning environment. The ambience of Assembly of Christ School provides all these to the child. With the demanding society overpowering the wishes of the young minds, fast changing values and pressure of the challenging career, it has become difficult for the individuals to balance between their virtues and ambitions. As a Higher Secondary school in Barrackpore, we try to imbibe values of love, culture and knowledge through spirituality.
Aims & Objectives
The greenery of the school campus provides a healthy environment for pupils to learn and grow. The school pledges to fight against pollution, the devil threatening the humans and their abode – the Earth. Various drives are included in the activity list of the school calendar to enable the pupils understand the value of an eco-friendly environment. It will not be out of context to mention that the school is a plastic free zone and stresses on the significance of conserving the natural resources. Assembly of Christ school has grown into the best English medium school in Barrackpore.
‘Today’s children are tomorrow’s future.’ As a school, we shape the future of the Nation and in turn build Global citizens. We inculcate among our pupils the motto of Discipline, Diligence and Devotion. The three D’s enable our pupils not only to be self-reliant but also to be philanthropic. Assembly of Christ School, the best school in Barrackpore believes that each child is talented and blessed with innumerable skills and abilities. It is the responsibility of the parents and teachers to nurture these possibilities and gift the world with able citizens. We are committed to bring out the best of each child and cater to all their needs necessary for holistic development.
The school is affiliated to the Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi. The classes range from Lower Nursery to class XII. The best ICSE/ISC school in Barrackpore, provides education to almost 1300 pupils coming from various sections of the society. Assembly of Christ School is an all-inclusive school; we preach equality and do not discriminate among pupils. Many first-generation learners have passed through the gates of this school and today they are successfully placed in various fields.
The school has a team of highly qualified, trained and experienced teachers. The teachers are compassionate and the pupils find a confidante in them. Completion of syllabi is not their only motive. The teachers are resolute to help the pupils grow confident and fulfill their aspirations. While the world is almost on the verge of forgetting the ethos of the Guru-Shishya relation, our school stands strong on the principle and is a living example of a teacher- student relation that rises above any touch of commercialization.
Principal’s Message
Education begins at home and every child by nature is curious and a learner already. Here at Assembly of Christ School, we strive to provide the environment to nurture our community of learners. Furthermore, we learn best by communicating and interacting with one another which is absolutely vital to tackle the toughest problems and challenges we face in our world. We therefore aspire to promote collaborative learning by partnering with various agencies and Institutions and by using the collective inputs from various people including teachers and parents.
One of the core principles behind proper education is the realization that not all intelligence is manifested the same way or in other words, intelligence has many forms. Albert Einstein once explained this by saying that if one expects a fish to climb a tree, it will live its whole life considering itself inferior. One of our responsibilities is therefore to identify and develop multiple types of intelligence.
A healthy body and mind complement each other and helps us grow holistically. All-round development of each child is therefore essential and we will work on this through a well balanced curriculum of academic and co-curricular activities. Thus the formation of an individual with strong values under the guidance of our well trained and caring faculty is our goal which we strive to achieve.
Happy learning!
Rector’s Message
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.
-Psalm 51:10-12
The path of the Lord is the path to ultimate wellbeing and success. Education without morality is like the body without the soul. Assembly of Christ School is a seat of education where we teach students to be confident, upright and honest. It transcends the limitations of the textbooks and helps each child to grow up to be a true Human Being. These moral lessons make ACS unique. Each child is made to feel at home and each child finds a confidant in the teachers. Thus, we ensure the mental wellness of our students besides their academic excellence and physical well-being.
Our students have established themselves not only as successful professionals but also as compassionate world citizens. And there lies our success. The lessons imparted in the Morning Assemblies and the Value Education classes guide our students to reach the ultimate purpose of our lives – to spread happiness and to be happy. As the rector of the school, I feel content to know that no child with schooling at Assembly of Christ School will ever be a cause of sorrow to anyone.
I pray to the Almighty to bless each one of us and keep us on His path.

Website
Thank you very much for this opportunity to send my message for this website.
The pandemic has devastated the whole world and things are noe like never before. Although we have lost much we have also learnt and grown in ways that are unimaginable.One of the things that we have all adapted to is the brilliant use of the internet. It has now become an integral part of our lives and our educational experience. One could not have imagined this a few years ago.
The school is now on the brink of its silver jubilee and it stands as testimony to God’s goodness and faithfulness over these two and a half decades. We have changed and grown in many ways and under the younger and more dynamic leadership I am confident that we will emerge better equipped to deal with the challenges of the future. I am reminded of the verse in the book of Lamentations:
“The steadfast love of the Lord never faileth, His mercies never come to an end.They are new every morning”.
Assembly of Christ School stands as a witness to the truth of this testimony.
As we upgrade our website, let us renew our commitment to the ideals of its Founders. May both the school and The Sushila Memorial Hostel be a beacon to the city and a place of true learning.
My grateful thanks to all who labour in this endeavour.
May God bless us all.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” ~Nelson Mandela
Our school is a cross section of our Nation and even beyond that. We have students coming from various caste, creed, race and religion. The boys and girls of our school learn and grow in safe and eco friendly environment. Our aim is to create a better world – a world of peace, a world of equality, a world of harmony.
The pandemic has shattered the world. However, it could not restrict us from imparting quality education to our students that has been our promise. With a team of highly qualified teachers and the support of the management, the students never missed a learning lesson. What they missed was only the beautiful school campus. The campus has adorned itself with more greenery and is ready to welcome the students in a whole new look. Our school is now a rare combination of Nature and Technology.
This website, is just a glimpse of who we are and what we offer. I would like each one of you who visits this website to visit our campus at 29 Bungalow, River Side Road, Barrackpore to explore the enticing world of education.

Advisor’s Message
Thank you very much for this opportunity to express my thoughts in a few words for the school website. I congratulate all those who have been involved in the creation of this website. I know it has taken many months of thought and work and I know that you have done your very best. So, well done and congratulations!
The school has now entered into its two and a half decades and so it is no more a new school. It is a school that is well on its way to making a mark in the suburb of Barrackpore. I take this opportunity to congratulate all those who have initiated this project.
I also want to thank the Founding Fathers and the school authorities for carrying forward the vision of a holistic education in this part of the city. Friends, we all know that schools are very much in demand. However many schools there are, there is still always a large number of children who need to be held and educated and nurtured and so I wish Assembly of Christ takes up this challenge and brings into its fold all the children who come into their campus. I know that this is a difficult year, it has been a year in which we have learnt much, a year in which we have grown in so many ways when we have faced new challenges but as a family of Assembly of Christ, we have done this and done this well. We have moved forward, we have learnt, we have grown and we have shared. So, what more can one ask of a school!
My good wishes to the Assembly of Christ family. May you continue to grow and glow and be a blessing to those around you. Congratulations once again. All the best and God bless you.

Administrator’s Message
A website is a must have these days.No organizations or institution should exist with the relevant information in the public domain.
It affirms the fact of transparency and accessibility to all who wish to gain information about the subject.
To this end,I welcome the idea of a school website.All stakeholders will be updated and connected through the pages.All information will be accurately and adequately disseminated.
Once again thank you for this fresh start.
My good wishes to all of you as we begin this journey into the new year together. May our dear school go from strength to strength and be a beacon of light to the city and beyond.

ACS In News
Life At ACS
In Assembly of Christ School, we do not merely set target for results, we try to impart the lesson of being upright in life. With confusion, corruption and commotion all around, the young minds are truly disturbed as they cannot decide which road is to be taken. Pupils in the age group of fifteen and seventeen years are the most affected as they often find it difficult to balance between the academic pressure and personal grooming. We take pride in stating that we have been successful in navigating these bright souls in the right direction. The journey of the pupils in Assembly of Christ School is very smooth as they know there is always someone ready to extend a hand to hold, an ear to hear, a tongue to console, a heart to feel and a mind to advice and that someone is none but the teacher. Our efforts have borne fruits and we have been gifted with happy, contented and confident children.
