==History==
The Lakshmipat Singhania Education Foundation was founded in the 1960s to promote education in India. The Kolkata branch of the school opened in 1996. It is located at the intersection of Alipore Road and Judge's Court Road.

==Student life==
The Kolkata Branch has four houses- Vayu (yellow), Agni (red), Jal (blue) and Prithvi (green). The students are divided into four houses, and a number of events are organised in which the houses compete against each other. The Student Council and Committee elections are held each year in which students choose their representatives for the whole year.

A student from the Kolkata branch topped West Bengal in the 2007 CBSE Class 12 examination.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110804051530/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-05-26/kolkata/27882711_1_cbse-toppers-cbse-class-xii-commerce-stream Times of India article on Class 12 toppers from Kolkata]</ref>

The school fest Abhilakshya is celebrated once every four years in which students from all over Kolkata take part. The last Abhilakshya was held in 2013. Kolkata's first inter-school IT fest, {{notatypo|exe.BIT}}, was also organised by LSA.

Lakshmipat Singhania Academy Bissau also has four houses- Jai (green), Kumbha (red), Pratap (yellow), and Sanga (blue). These represent great kings of ancient Rajasthan. The students are divided into these four houses, and intra-school activities are organised around the year, in which these houses compete against each other. Elections are held every year, in which the students vote, and choose their prefects.

An annual function (Founder's Day) is held every year, for which a grand exhibition is held in the school, and cultural programs are organised for the guests.
