Baranagore Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama High School (H.S.)[a] (BRKMAHS) is a senior secondary boys' school in Baranagar, Kolkata, India and a branch centre of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math.[10][11] The school was founded in 1912,[3] and is located at the northern outskirt of Kolkata, on the banks of the river Ganga. The school is run by the Baranagar Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Authority under the umbrella of Ramakrishna Mission[12][13][14] headquartered at Belur Math.[3] Based on its performance of the students in the Xth standard board examination, the school is considered one of the very best schools in West Bengal.[15][16][17][18][19][20] Department of Tourism (West Bengal) listed it as one of the tourist spots of West Bengal.[21]
