Adjacent to St. Patrick's Higher Secondary School, the enormous 390 bihgas, property( grassy, semi-cultivated land) had been initially purchased by Br A Ryan, the Provincial of the Brothers who intended to work on the project of relocating the Moorghihatta Orphanage. The job of supervising the erection of buildings was given to Br. Joseph Moyes. Dr. Meulman S.J., Archbishop of Calcutta, on 25 October 1919, laid down the foundation stone but it was only 10 years later in 1929 that its first batch of 29 students came, soon followed by 20 more . St. Vincent's was a boarding school, reputed for its sportsmen, till the early nineties. Currently it is a day school with strength of about 1850 students. The senior secondary welcomed girl students from the year 2009. Apart from the Industrial Training Centre, St. Vincent's also runs an NIOS (Class X & XII) Centre for over 1500 students.
