Inspired by the ideals and teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother a group of devotees of Salt Lake, Kolkata, started an Association named Sri Aurobindo Institute of Education with a view to spreading their message in all spheres of society. This Association was registered under West Bengal Societies Registration Act, 1961.

​

As part of their initiatives the Association established this school, bearing the same name, in 1983 at BK Block, Sector – II, Salt Lake. Subsequently the school was extended to CL Block on two bighas of land. At present classes I through Class XII are held in this new building, named Miranka, whereas the Nursery, Lower & Upper Kindergarten classes are held in the BK Block building. The medium of instruction is English. The School is managed by the Association through a Governing Body that functions as its executive wing.

​

The primary aim of the school is comprehensive development of the personality and character of the students as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo & the Mother, besides providing formal education as per the syllabi approved by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi, which the school is affiliated with.
