Welcome

In 1998 St. John’s School embarked on an innovative education journey with an exhilarating mission…….to create an institution where education is a delight for the children. We have come a long way since then and have established an eloquent example of blending dissemination of knowledge and skills with humanism and commitment to excellence.
What we have achieved till now proves that merit is the over arching criterion, be it admission of students, recruitment of teachers, or adoption of the curriculum. While the school’s talented and experienced faculty made the difference, parents supported and complemented our efforts. We look forward to carry further what we have accomplished. SJS is an institute which caters to the needs of progressive, demanding and techno-savvy society with an educational curriculum for the new millennium, aiming at moulding the young mind for the 21st century leadership.
At SJS, we believe that in the competitive world of today academics alone is not enough to make your child competent and confident to take on life’s challenges. Teaching is all about identifying the true potential of the child, training and honing of the skills and leading him to be a winner in life.
The school is set upon the solid foundation of integrity, truth and learning. Established in the pollution free environs with lush green grounds, the school not only provides meaningful and rewarding education but also provide a strong moral fiber. SJS strives to keep the sensitivity of the human heart alive to fellow beings and Mother Nature. The elaborate facilities and infrastructure provide and adequate environment for the mental and physical growth of the student leading to an all round development of each child.
Invest & endow your child with wing to soar high,
Train him to recognize his talent and harness his potential,
Launch him successfully into the ultimate exam called Life!
