In today’s world, the significance of providing our children with quality education is a widely acknowledged fact. The future of a child depends not only on the choice of educational institution but also on the principles and vision that the institution upholds. Making the right decision in this regard is of paramount importance.
As Martin Luther King once wisely said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education.” In St. Francis schools, we place utmost importance on character formation and behavioural development alongside intellectual growth. We firmly believe that focusing solely on intelligence and academic activities without nurturing character developments leads to an imbalanced and incomplete education.
When parents choose an educational institution for their children, they should prioritize these fundamental values over superficial factors like reputation or other considerations. The ultimate objective is to shape our children into not only intelligent individuals but also virtuous human beings capable of facing the challenges of a rapidly changing global landscape.

St. Francis School, guided by its transformative motto, aspires to provide value-based education that molds individual into morally upright beings. Our goal is that each student, upon completion of their education at our institution, emerges as a completely transformed individual. We emphasize seven core principles by instilling in our children the seven mantras: be grateful, be bonded, be respectful, be passionate, be proactive, be positive and be punctual. In addition to this, we also instill values like humility, simplicity, honesty, charity, selflessness, and godliness.
At St. Francis School, we are dedicated to providing individual attention to every child, nurturing their physical, social, emotional, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual growth. Our commitment to inclusivity disregards factors such as caste, creed, or economic differences, recognizing all children as the sons and daughters of our great nation.
We firmly believe that parents are the primary educators and role models for their children. They have the crucial task of instilling respect for teachers, elders, and others. It’s essential to maintain a balance between love and discipline, ensuring that children are not pampered excessively but loved enough to teach them the difference between right and wrong, especially during their teenage years.
St. Francis School takes a principled stand against constant appeasement policies and endeavours to speak the truth, even when it is difficult for all involved, for the betterment of the child’s future. We welcome and value feedback from parents and maintain a transparent policy for our institution. Our primary focus is not driven by monetary gains from fees, but rather centered on nurturing each child’s development into a well-rounded and responsible human being.
Every child is a unique gem entrusted to us by parents. Just as a diamond requires careful crafting, character development and behaviour correction serve as essential facets. It’s crucial for parents to grasp this truth, refraining from hastily intervening in school matters for minor concerns. Instead, place your trust in our nurturing methods, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to education.
In conclusion, St. Francis School remains steadfast in its commitment to principles and values, prioritizing the holistic development of every child over any other considerations. Our mission is aligned with the promise of Jesus Christ to serve the least among us. We earnestly hope for the trust and confidence of parents in our efforts to shape the furture generations. May our noble endeavours be blessed with success.
