There was a growing need to start an English Medium school in the region. However, due to the economic restraints of starting an English Medium school, the dream of many could not materialize into reality. It was then that the two great visionaries Late. Padmashree Bhausaheb Vartak and Late Smt. Tarabai Vartak, a former State Minister, came together and chalked out a plan with an aim to provide the children of Virar, an affordable and quality education through the medium of English.The BeginningFinally in June 1986, with the approval of the Agashi-Virar-Arnala Education Society, the dream of these two visionaries came into existence. A small English division was started in the adjoining building of Annasaheb Vartak Smarak Vidyamandir, a Marathi medium school of the A.V.A. Education society. The school started with the same name and with a student count of only 35 which were managed by only one teacher. Years went by and due to the hard work and enthusiastic efforts of the board people of the society, the school slowly started to gain foothold in the education system of Virar.
