Our mission

Drawing inspiration from Jesus Christ and led by Ignatian legacy, St Xavier's School form our students to become young men and women of integrity through academic excellence, spiritual growth, social commitment and value based leadership.

Our vision

Following the values of Jesus Christ and the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola, St Xavier's School aims at forming the young to be men and women for others and promote the emergence of a humane and egalitarian Indian society. "There are two types of education - one that teaches you how to make a living and other that teaches you how to live." The aim of education at Xavier's is to focus more on the formation of the youth rather than just imparting knowledge. In a world that is getting more and more bankrupt on basic human values, Xaverians are trained to become better human beings. The school inculcates the qualities of a passion for excellence, desire for freedom, courage, confidence, spirit of inquisitiveness etc. in its students. Education at Xavier's transcends the boundaries of the classrooms. The four walls of the classroom and what happens there do not only define education. The teachers as well as students are infused with a rare passion much like that of our patron saint and the Founder of the Society of Jesus- St. Francis Xavier and St. Ignatius of Loyola respectively. Without being overtly spoken about these great Saints have found their way into the life blood of every Xaverian and teacher alike.

Objectives of Jesuit Education

1. Proposes Christ as the model of human life.

2. Aims at bringing about a true metanoia - a change of heart by which a person turns from selfish concerns to complete and unreserved generosity towards God and His Kingdom.

3. Seeks to form 'men and women for others'

4. Aims to create leaders with the potential for influencing and transforming the society.

5. It is value oriented. Imparting right values through education is the prime concern of Jesuit education

6. Manifests a particular concern for the poor.
