The foundation stone of St. Vincent’s School was laid by Dr. Meulman S.J., Archbishop of Calcutta, on 25 October 1919. St. Vincent de Paul is the patron Saint of the school. In the year 1914 on a visit to St Patrick’s Asansol, Br Arsenius Ryan, the provincial of the Brothers, inspected an open partly cultivated plot of 50 bighas as a possible site for the Orphanage. The site was purchased and with the addition of surrounding plots it increased to 390 bighas, the property on which St. Vincent’s now stands. Br Joseph Moyes was selected to superintend the erection of the buildings In 1927 Br. Gabriel Pakenham was appointed superior and the first batch of 29 boys took up residence. In 1928 it was decided to present students for the matriculation of Calcutta University. In 1949 the school took the step of becoming a technical school through the efforts of Br. J. E. McCann. The boys of St. Vincent’s were presented for the senior Cambridge examination with Metalwork, woodwork and technical drawing along with sciences, mathematics English and literature. In due course of time the technical department was seperated from the School.

The school is now affliated to The CISCE, New Delhi. The school is known to excel both on and off the field. The past students of the school are settled across the globe with many of them luminaries in thier respective fields.
