Discover Godwin

Godwin Modern School is one of the best equipped boarding school in a small hamlet town of Kurseong in the District of Darjeeling. Its design and facilities, with the emphasis on the latest educational technology, not only helps the students attain their fullest academic potential, but challenges them in the equally rich fields of physical, cultural and artistic endeavor and create their own summits.


Although the superb facilities are an important aid to learning, what can replace that sense of achievement that comes when a challenge has been met or an obstacle overcome? We foster an atmosphere in which the students are confident to stand on their own feet, take their own decisions, and reach their own summits. We are also committed to residential / boarding education, believing that it creates one of the best environments for effective pastoral care and support, while encouraging mutual responsibility and a sense of community. In this way children are prepared to take their place in creating a just, caring and forward-looking society.


Godwin Modern School at Kurseong has stood as a beacon for education from the year in which it was founded- 1992- till today, and it is the only school in Kurseong affiliated to the  C.B.S.E., Delhi.

Since 1992, we have served students of all races, religions, nationalities, and levels of academic ability.  Through a highly structured curriculum that focuses on accountability and self-discipline, and continuous learning we create for students the ideal conditions in which to succeed.

Our philosophy is based on four beliefs:

  • Deep down inside, all children are good.
  • Regardless of academic ability, every child is capable of success.
  • All children would rather succeed than fail.
  • Once a child gets a taste of success, he or she will want more.

Four simple beliefs.  One dramatic result.  A turning point in your child’s life.  And, maybe in yours.
