National Gems School was founded in 1968 by the Late Ganesh Prasad Khanna at 629, Diamond Harbour Road, Kolkata 700 034. He was a visionary with the desire to impart education to all segments of society. By 1993, the school was upgraded to class VIII and was poised at a delicate stage of obtaining affiliation from a recognised body. The school is affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi, since 1995. Today, the school has its own permanent examination centre from where our students appear for both the ICSE and ISC Examinations. The school can now proudly boast of offering Science and Commerce streams at the ISC level. National Gems Higher Secondary School hopes to contribute to the orderly growth and progress of the student towards a more prosperous, just and humane society.
