St. Paul's School, is a Methodist Episcopal school with to-the-point Protestant belief system, which was started by New Zealand Baptist Missionary Society in 1943 with a goal of teaching Tripuri students belonging to the Christian faith and Indigenous community of the interior villages of Tripura, India. Their motive soon changed to giving education in large scale without discrimination and subordination. The school was the first English medium school in Tripura.
The school is not named after any physical object or common authority, but instead, after Saint Saul(Later known as Saint Paul the Apostle) who was once stoned to death because of his utter belief in Indiscriminative Humanity.
The school was run by the Methodist Episcopalians until 1964. Then, the general administration of the school was handed over to the Tripura Baptist Christian Union. The school taught in Bengali until 1971, when they switched to English instruction. Not to forget that Bengali & Kokborok are still considered in subject forms.
