Our Journey

Our Heritage & History

The story of Bishop Morrow School is one of visionary leadership and dedicated service. It is a legacy that spans over six decades, deeply rooted in the soil of Krishnanagar.

The Humble Beginning (1959)

The institution had its modest start in January 1959 at Nogendranagar, Krishnanagar. Founded by Bishop Louis LaRavoire Morrow, it was initially known as the Mary Immaculate Montessori School. Under the Bishop’s fatherly guidance and the tireless efforts of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate (SMI), the school quickly gained a reputation for excellence in early childhood education.

Growth and Expansion (1968–1969)

Bishop Morrow established the Young Women’s Cultural Centre (YWCC) at Bejikhali with the intent of hosting a new school.

October 1968

The school moved to its current location, providing more spacious facilities for the children of the region.

Upon the Bishop’s retirement, the people of Krishnanagar—in a gesture of profound gratitude for his 30 years of service—requested that the centre be named the Bishop Morrow Centre (BMC) to honour his memory.
