The Maharashtra Cosmopolitan Education Society’s English Medium School, Azam Campus, Pune was established in the year 1964.

The school started functioning in an old bungalow which was later demolished to construct Senior College Library and Roghay Girls Hostel. The school worked in two shifts for lack of accommodation. (Nursery and Kindergarten during the morning session and classes I to IV during the afternoon). A meagre fee of Rs.10/- per month was charged and education was imparted to children of all communities irrespective of their religion, caste and creed.
