The Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy of Kolkata is commonly known and called Armenian College, Calcutta. The institution was founded by members of the Calcutta Armenian Community primarily to educate their own children. The Armenian College has played a distinguished and important role in the preservation and spread of Armenian culture throughout the world. For almost its entire history, the Armenian College has been the only institution in the East designed to educate Armenian children alone. The pupils of the Armenian College have distinguished themselves in business, commerce, science and the arts.nnIn 1999, the High Court of West Bengal on a petition by a non-Armenian, sonia John, Justice Sujit Sinha of the Calcutta High Court ordered that the Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church would 'administer the school' in terms of the submissions made in the application to the Calcutta High Court.The submissions made to the High Court included a Committee of Management but has not been acted upon since the date of the order in 1999. In the same year, the first group arrived from Armenia. The college has educated students from India,Kuwait,Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia. In 2006, ACPA celebrated its 185th Anniversary, the college receiving a number of distinguished guests on the occasion, including the Governor of West Bengal. A year later in February 2007 the college was honoured by the first Pontifical visit of His Holiness, Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians who also made a second visit to Kolkata in 2008 to preside over the 300th Anniversary celebrations of the Armenian Holy Church of Nazareth.

Good college under ideal environment. Faculty is also good.

They have gathered a bunch of hiproactive kids, with scycoligical issues. They torture and give the harshest punishment to little kids, who are away from their homeland. Media has to focus on such schools that they live with their old rules as of 1800; for God sake someone save those abused kids.
