Raja Shivaji is a Marathi medium school and the Indian Education Society's aka IES English Medium is the larger part of the school. There is also a small Gujarati medium section in the premises. The school was founded in 1912, and named in honor King George V who had visited India in 1911.

It has since resumed English education, becoming a "semi-English" (mixed English/Marathi) institution.^[1] In 2012, former President of India, Pratibha Patil was the guest of honor at the school's centenary celebration.^[1]

Shri Aaras, who were highly motivated, came together and decided to start an Independent School. During the period of 1911 King George V from England visited India. He was known for his calm nature and was extremely inclined towards education. During his visit, he announced the slogan ‘Educate and Agitate’. He encouraged people to open schools for spreading awareness of literacy. At times he even extended his help for this noble cause. Inspired by his efforts these five Jewels got encouraged and started a school named ‘King George English School’ on 10 January 1912.
