Today the Institution has a horizon compared with managerial normal school and lodging pieces abandon us pondering in the matter of how profound are its underlying foundations. The ethos of the school appears to resound the pith of a well established original copy. "A Proposal for the Institution of a free school society in Bengal, 1789, which Declares" "The need of some Public Institution in the expansive Settlement, for the instruction of the Children of both genders, has been stepping by step winding up more sensible as the place itself has expanded".

Digging into the past the school can follow back it's beginning to 1789 when the record "A proposition for the Institution of a free school society in Bengal recommended the settling up of a store to fund poor offspring of the general public".

In 1790 a 15 bigha plot with a house was purchased at what in this manner came to be known as "Free School Street". Both the young men's schools worked from that point. Today part of the land houses the sustenance and proportioning workplaces. It was just toward the start of this century that the specialists chose that the "Free School Street Premises" was "Unsatisfactory" and thought of moving the school to Ranchi.

The thought was relinquished as guardians questioned and the decision fell on "Kidderpore House" at 4, Diamond Harbor Road. In 1914 the "Free School Society" moved toward the legislature for "Kidderpore House" and the school began in full from that point in 1916. In 1917 it was chosen, that the "Free School" would be changed over, into the St. Thomas' School for better administration and in 1923 the "Calcutta Free School" was authoritatively named St. Thomas' School after the Apostle on whose day the first "Free School Society" had been established.

World War II saw "Kidderpore House" changed over into a military doctor's facility and the school was closed down. The young men segment was moved to Takdah close Darjeeling. With the war arriving at an end the young men were moved onto the grounds out of the blue.

There were radical changes after freedom when the Viceroy and Governor General left India and the country's President progressed toward becoming a benefactor and the school opened the way to non-Europeans and different groups.

Over hundreds of years the sky like at "4, Diamond Harbor Road" has been sprinkled with new structures that have come up to oblige the young men.
