La Martiniere, Calcutta (Kolkata), was among the three schools founded by Major General Claude Martin. The other two schools are situated at Lucknow, India and Lyon, France.

Claude Martin was born at Lyon, France on 4th January, 1735 and came to India in the French Service in 1752. He was appointed Ensign in the Service of the East India Company in 1763, became Major General in 1775 and died at Lucknow on 13th September, 1800. The school was opened on 1st March, 1836.

Whether referred to as "La Marts" or "Lamartin" by outsiders who have never quite succeeded in figuring out the meaning of the Schools's unconventional name, La Martiniere has always retained a kind of mystique about itself. Above all, La Martiniere is a landmark in Calcutta (Kolkata), its magnificent building inspiring awe and admiration among visitors to the city.
