Modern School-Preparatory is an English medium co-educational private unaided Christian educational centre with classes from Lower Nursery to Kindergarten. It was founded in 1953 by Mrs. Enid Isaac, B.A., B.T. (w/o Late Brig. George S. Isaac), in a small way with only five students. It was the first English medium school in Barrackpore sub-division. In the fifties and sixties the school catered mainly to the children of expatriate Britishers of the various jute mills and the officers of British Gurkha units posted in Barrackpore. Later children of Indian Army and Air Force officers and from all walks of civilian life found it to be a good preparatory school.
