Education should be the biggest and best adventure in a child’s life”

Godwin Modern School was established in 1992 by the “Kurseong Godwin Academic & Technical Society”  a Non Profit Organization which was governed by a group of Academics, Social Workers, Lawyers & Educationalist  who were extremely concerned about imparting quality, affordable education  to the children of all races and religion, nationality and all levels of academic abilities; through a highly structured curriculum that focused on accountability and self-discipline.

The vision of the founders were to “Cultivate excellence in every student” and believed education to be the most important instrument for the transmission of culture and values from generation to generation.

The main mission of the establishment of Godwin Modern School was not only to create a successful social being but also a fully cultured complete individual though its structured education system who would be able to discharge their responsibilities not only towards themselves but also towards their family, society, country and above all towards humanity.


Situated in a small hamlet town of “Kurseong” rightly called “The Land of White Orchids” in the District of Darjeeling, Godwin Modern School thus opened in 3rd March 1992.

Since 1992, for 29 years Godwin Modern School have served and helped students to achieve and succeed in all their life endeavours and make their dreams come true.

Based on the philosophy of  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.


  Godwin Modern School could be a turning point in your child’s life.  And, maybe in yours.
