Our Vision
“There are two types of education- one that teaches you how to make a living and the other that teaches you how to live.”
The agenda of education at Xavier’s is to focus more on 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 therein do not define education. The teachers as well as students are infused with a rare passion much like that of our patron saint and founder – St. Francis Xavier and Ignatius of Loyola. Without being overtly spoken about, these great saints have found their way into the life blood of every Xaverian student and teacher alike.
WE AIM :
To
develop in the student an attitude of openness to growth and enable him to begin to take
responsibility for his own growth.
To
prepare the student to be intellectually competent: to promote the development of the
intellectual skills, understanding, and mastery of the academic requirements necessary
for
advanced forms of education and for life.
To
help the student to become mature religiously: to help him to know the major doctrines
and
practices of the Catholic Church and to learn to examine critically his own religious
feelings and beliefs.
To
help the student to become a loving person: to assist him in the establishment of his
own
identity and in his movement beyond self-centeredness toward more significant
relationships
with others.
To
foster in the student a commitment to doing justice: to help him develop as a person for
others and to prepare him to take his place as a competent , concerned, and responsible
member of society.
Our Mission
“We aim to form leaders in service, men and women of competence, conscience and compassionate commitment.”
Four Pillars of Jesuit Education:

individual or society but creating men and women for others
Spiritual Transformation: Jesuit education focuses on the formation of values, attitudes
in
the students. We believe that true knowledge leads us to God ultimately.
Intellectual Transformation: Develop imaginative, affective and creative dimension of
the
students.
Personal Transformation: Develop to the fullest possible way the God given talents or
the
self-image of the learners
