History
In 1913, The Theosophical Educational Trust (ref Theosophical Society) was established. Along with establishing several schools for boys and girls (separately) in India, several other schools were handed over to the trust. In the present location in Kamachha, two different schools existed (Rajghat Besant School & Vasanta College for Women) and were later moved to Rajghat, Varanasi in 1928 & 1954 respectively.
In their place, the Besant Theosophical School for Boys and the Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya for girls were started in 1939 and 1954 respectively. A Montessori School called Annie Besant Shishu Vihar also exists on the campus. There is co-education up to class V and separate education for boys up to high-school level and for girls up to degree level (affiliated to BHU).[5][6]
