United Missionary Girls’ High School  first opened in 1834 as a boarding school for twenty-four boys. The premises later shifted from Alipore to Bhownipur when a girls’ section was added in 1837. The schools shared a campus, but were run separately.

In 1916, the Methodist Missionary Society and British Missionary Society combined with the London Missionary Society to become United Missionary Girls’ High School.
