Jenkins School is a school in the Indian state of West Bengal. The school was established in 1861 and is situated in the town of Cooch Behar.

The then king Maharaja Narendra Narayan had an interest in education and arranged for a modern education system in Cooch Behar. He established Jenkins School to teach English lessons and other studies. At that time there wasn't a high school in the region. After setting up the school, students of Cooch Behar and the rest of the North of Bengal had access to education.
