About School: .It is a standing testimony to a rich and long tradition of selfless service to society and to the nation at large. The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Tarbes was founded in France by six young girls who had a special experience of God, urging them to live together a life of contemplation. Gripped by the love of God, they came to India and on 13th May 1882 they took up the mission of serving the sick at the Bowring Hospital, Bangalore. Bishop Coadou helped the sisters to settle in Bangalore and to take charge of the Day School at St. John’s Hill, run by the Fathers of St.Francis Xavier Church. To start with, they admitted only European girls. But the sisters soon reached out to the Anglo -Indians and the vast majority of Indian population. Recognition as a High School came in 1916, while the boarding was started in 1923.Based on the bed rock of Christian values and traditions, the school offers holistic education, striking the perfect balance between academics, sports and co-curriculum with special emphasis on the all round growth of the child.
