1. ABOUT THE FUTURE
FOUNDATION SCHOOL
The Future Foundation School is founded on the principles and inspired by the light of Sri
Aurobindo and The Mother. Guided by Shri Pradyot Kumar Bhattacharya (1905-1984),
iconic engineer and trustee of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, Smt. Joya Mitter 1936-
1999), a devotee and cultural aficionado, founded the school in 1981 and modelled it in the
style of the Gurukul of ancient times. After her demise in 1999, Shri Ranjan Mitter took
charge as Principal and over the past two decades, has transformed the school into a
contemporary, future-ready institution. It is an organic extension of a pre-school, Arun
Nursery, which was named and blessed by the Mother. Shri Arun Tagore, a reputed lawyer
belonging to the famous Tagore family lineage, founded the pre-school, seeking
permission of The Mother to do so, who named the school ‘Arun Nursery’, much to his
embarrassment. Thus, on September 04, 1972 the pre-school began its journey and from
these origins grew The Future Foundation School.
The Future Foundation School is a co-educational school and is an initiative of Sri
Aurobindo Institute of Culture. The medium of instruction is English.
The school is affiliated to the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations, New
Delhi. Children are prepared for the ICSE and ISC examinations.
The Future Foundation School provides its K 12 students a future focussed and culturally
rooted education. From a modest beginning the school has now grown into a premier
educational institution in South Kolkata.

2. SCHOOL ETHOS
• ‘The education of a human being should begin at birth and continue throughout his life.’
• Education to be complete must have five principal aspects corresponding to the five
• principal activities of the human being: the physical, the vital, the mental, the psychic and
• the spiritual. Usually, these phases of education follow chronologically the growth of the
• individual: this however does not mean that one of them should replace another, but that
• all must continue, completing one another until the end of his life.’
• –The Mother (On Education)
• From the time of inception, The Future Foundation School has attempted a holistic development in
its students by providing a caring environment, nurturing and blossoming the different dimensions
of the human personality. Instead of focussing only on academics and marks, the aim of the school
has been to impart education based on the Principles of Education as envisaged by The Mother and
Sri Aurobindo who believed that the true
• purpose of education is to prepare the individual to serve his or her nation and humanity.
• The school believes that value education, co-scholastic activities and physical education are no less
important than academic pursuits. Parents are expected to subscribe to this line of thought while
admitting their wards to school.
