Rabindranath , Somendranath and Satya Prasad ended their study in Normal School [a Bengali School] and were admitted to an Anglo Indian School Bengal Academy [an English medium]. They started their education from March 1872 in Bengal Academy in class VII. DeCruz, an European was the principal of the school at that time. Rabindranath mentioned, in short, the difference between the two schools. " The students of this school were miscreant but not disgusting.. They also did some mischievous act but those did not give a scar on the mind, they simply put some mark on the body. These are all disturbing but not disgraceful.. So I thought that I climbed on the stone leaving my foot from the mud.For that, my foot may be cut but I was relived of the dirt."
Rabindranath thought that their teaching was better in the previous school and there was none to look after. As a result this period of learning was totally failure. Though in this period of study there were some obstruction due to different reasons. At first the study was obstructed due to the Dengu epidemic secondly the study was obstructed due to their wearing of sacred thread. In both the occasions Rabindranath was out of station . First he had gone to Panihati with his family members and secondly he had gone to Himalayas with his father.
Rabindranath discontinued his study in Bengal Academy from Feb to June. He again began going to school from Jun 1873. But his relation with Bengal Academy was not sweet. He continued dropping of school with several excuses , sometimes with the help of Munshi. He used the roof of the outer house for his resting place after dropping out from the school . He also used the roof of 2nd floor for this purpose.
The chapter of Bengal Academy ended less than two years , Dec 1873..The they joined st. Xaviers Collegiate School in Feb 1875. Though they were admitted for some days in Metropolitan School they didn't attend the school.The whole of 1874 they relieved from attending any school. Rabindranath and his two classmates were admitted in Fifth Year's Class, equivalent to class IX or pre-entrance class.
Rabindranath continued dropping out of school even in St.Xaviers school.St. xaviersCollege record shows that Somendranath and Satyaprasad were promoted to the next higher class i.e.,entrance class But Rabindranath could not. either he did not sit for the examination or he got plucked probably the first one is correct. Here is the end of Rabibdranath's School life in India.
Rabindranath studied in four Indian Schools from infant to Class IX during 1865 to 1875 , 1.Calcutta Training Academy, 2. Govt. Pathsala, 3. Bengal Academy and 4. St. Xaviers Collegiate School.
