They are taught through the medium of English and other regional languages.

These institutions are part of the Catholic Church’s effort to share in the
country’s educational undertaking.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

The Catholic school is a learning community animated by the Divine Spirit of
Love and Freedom, and living the Gospel Values. It shares Christ’s concern for
the liberation and fullness of life of all peoples, especially of those in greatest
need.

In the Catholic school, young people of any religious family find scope within
their own cultural milieu to reflect on their lives in the light of their faith and to
develop not only in knowledge and skills but also in wisdom which is the fruit
of reflection on life and its lessons. As they grow towards human maturity they
are enabled with the help of the Divine Spirit and the support of the school to
find meaning and purpose in their lives, and are inspired to live and work for
the building up of a just and fraternal society.

Jesuit Schools aim at the integral personal formation of the young.
To accomplish this, special efforts are made:

 to help the students to become mature, spiritually oriented men and
women of character;
 to encourage them continually to strive after excellence in every field;
 to value and judiciously use their freedom;
 to be clear and firm on principles, and courageous in action;
 to be selfless in the service of their fellowbeings; and
 to become agents of needed social change in their country.

The Jesuit School thus aims at making its own contribution towards a
transformation of the present-day social condition so that principles of social
justice, equality of opportunity, genuine freedom, respect for religious and
moral values, enshrined in the Constitution of India, may prevail, and the
possibility of living a fully human existence may be opened before all.
