History
editThe school was started in February 1966 on an experimental basis, operating out of Rajshahi University's Mannujan Hall. It began as a primary school up to class II. Each year it was extended by one or two classes until it became a high school. To accommodate the rising number of pupils, it was moved to the Juberi Building.[1]
The university's psychology department took over the school for their research. It was shifted again, this time to the department's former location, the tin-shed. By the mid-1970s, it was called The Experimental School. The higher secondary section was added in 1983. The school was moved into a concrete building. In 2000, the university's Institute of Educational Research took over the school, which was renamed Rajshahi University School.[1]
By 2024, it had become a school and college under its current name.[2] It has 43 teachers and 2,200 students.[1]
