History

Instituto Salesiano was established in 1906, during the Qing dynasty, by Fr. Louis Versiglia.[2][3] The school is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, aims at giving the students a complete and balanced education in different aspects. The campus, front of St. Lorenz Church, was originally owned by the British East India Company. Since 1976, the school has become an exam center of General Certificate of Education as well as an exam center of City and Guilds of London Institute.

People's Education  profiled the school in 1999.[4] The school opened three new buildings in 2023 with funding from the government.[5]

Campus

In 2016 the 8,008-square-metre (86,200 sq ft) campus included a building that was built sometime before 1916. In 2016 the school made plans to raze the building so it could build new buildings as part of an expansion.[6]
