Nestled in the heart of Tangra, Grace Ling Liang English School was founded by Rev. & Mrs. T.D. Lamb in 1974. It has both ICSE & ISC board.
At one point of time, over 90 per cent of the student body was Chinese. Over the years, as the size of the school has grown and as the Chinese population has dwindled in Calcutta, their share in the school has also shrunk. Now, less than 15 per cent of the total 1,500 hails from that community. But the effect of the school is well felt in the locality.

Thanks to Rev & Mrs Lamb and many sponsors who help me and many others to get free education, I am forever very grateful for what they did, I am sure hundreds who have been to this school have the same feeling, I know many school in my days refuse or not accepting new students, but this school continues to do so, I seen it from growing from 6 grade, to 7, then to 8, and finally there was no more room for growth in kolkata, they expanded to tangra, and I was the 2 group to have the opportunity to sit in that new school. it not about the best school or not, its about getting kids like me in those days an education, for this I think it is one of the best school in providing free education to countless of kids with serious education and of-course lots of fun during those school day too.

My second home,I learnt my values here,I learnt to believe in God here.My heart learnt to feel here.Right from its nursery to the 12th standard I was with the institution.I still feel now if I cud live there and participate in the different curriculums of this School.It was like a family at the school.Some teachers were strict,some were lenient……….all they wanted was,how we can be the best in this society.And I really feel now what they wanted.Degrees doesnt define a person,character best defines it.Strong faith in God is the must quality……the best part of the School was in its morning chapel sessions.Wisdom is the greatest gift and teaching of my life that the School offered………..Thank you GLLES.I wud always be there for you.
