He was of opinion that to bring the "required change in society" women's education was important, and with this vision he started this English medium school for Indian girls, initially with 13 students. It was named after Alexandra of Denmark, then Princess of Wales (who later became the queen consort of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and empress consort of India), as Cursetjee believed that she would be an "ideal" for the girls to look up to.
