The idea of National Academy in Calcutta was first conceived by Astvazatoor Mooradkhan. In his Will dated 30th July 1797 he left Rs.8000 towards the establishment of an Armenian School for the education of Armenian youth, both rich and poor. Later on through the effort of Manatzakan Vardan, enough money was raised by subscription from the Armenian community to materialise the original idea conceived by Asvazatoor Mooradkhan a quarter of a century earlier. The Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy was founded on the 2nd April 1821 at 385 Old China Bazaar Street, Calcutta, in the vicinity of the Armenian Church. At the time of its foundation the Academy had also a girls section that was abandoned in 1842. In 1884 the 56 Free School Street premises was purchased and the school transferred to its present location.
In 1949 the Armenian College and Davidian Girl’s School, which was founded by D.A.David in 1922, were educationally amalgamated and up to 1954 the girls appeared for the School final examinations of the Board of Secondary Education of West Bengal as private candidates. On 27th January 1953 permission for co-education was granted to the College by the Board and since then the girls along with the boys appeared for School Final Examinations as regular candidates. |
