'''Loreto House, Kolkata''' was established in 1842 in [[Kolkata]], by the [[ Loreto sisters]] belonging to the institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is the oldest and the first Loreto institution to be established in India and was one of the few all-girls Catholic schools of that time. <br />
<br />
The School started with sixty students who were taught at a house where nuns lived under Mother Delphine Hart, assisted by Sr. Teresa Mons and Sr. Martina McCann.<ref name="studentsspan1">{{cite web |url=http://www.studentsspan.com/php/showSCDeatils.php?p_name=Kolkata,%20West%20Bengal%20Schools&SC_id=16&priority=9 |title=Students Span - A World Viewer.com site Students Span, Global network of Students, Student Blogs, Articles, Personal Pages |publisher=www.studentsspan.com |date= |accessdate=2012-05-26 |archive-date=2 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120502084625/http://www.studentsspan.com/php/showSCDeatils.php?p_name=Kolkata,%20West%20Bengal%20Schools&SC_id=16&priority=9 |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
