Goethals Memorial School is an English-medium boarding school run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in the town of Kurseong, Darjeeling, India. It is set in a forest 5 km (3 miles) from Kurseong between Siliguri and Darjeeling at an altitude of 1673.854 meters (5491 feet) above sea level.
The school was founded in 1907 and is named after the Jesuit Archbishop of Calcutta (now Kolkata), Paul Goethals. The land for the school was donated by the Maharaja of Bardhaman. The school was previously all boys but the introduction of higher secondary section led to the introduction of girls in the school. Now the school is co-ed even in the secondary section. It has special student leaders called prefects who are elected by the concerned authorities[who?] at the start of the academic session. They are given special blue coloured sweaters and coats which are a shade brighter than the rest of the students.[1][2][3]
