Welcome to St. Mary’s Higher Secondary School, Vellore! Rooted in the principles and educational philosophy of St. John Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello, our institution has been a beacon of learning, faith, and service since 1928.
St. Mary’s was the pioneering ground where the Salesian Sisters sowed the seeds of their charism in North Arcot- Vellore, and today, we continue to nurture young minds with the same spirit of dedication and love. At St. Mary’s, education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is about holistic formation-cultivating wisdom, virtue, and joy in every student. Inspired by Don Bosco’s belief that “in every young person, a point of goodness is accessible,” we strive to discover and nurture the unique potential within each child. Our student-centred approach fosters expressive, responsible, and service-oriented individuals who bring meaning and happiness wherever they go.
The vibrant programs and activities on our campus are more than mere events—they are integral parts of an educational journey designed to shape young minds in the spirit of Don Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello. Our school environment along with, Moral science and Catechism classes, a well-structured curriculum, diverse co-curricular initiatives, and a strong emphasis on sports and games, are all meticulously designed to ensure the all-round development of our students. Our Motto: "God and Country" This motto reflects our commitment to instilling strong moral values and a deep sense of responsibility toward society and the nation. Our hope and prayer for every St. Marian is that they may grow into enlightened and responsible individuals-successful, yet compassionate and morally upright leaders of tomorrow. May God’s blessings and good cheer be with every student, teacher, and well-wisher of our institution.
First and foremost, I thank the Almighty for blessing me with this wonderful opportunity to lead this esteemed institution. St. Mary’s has stood strong for decades, committed to nurturing young minds.
Beyond academic excellence, we focus on holistic development, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and character formation. Every child is unique, and we encourage them to discover their potential, explore their passions, and grow into responsible and compassionate global citizens. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to equip students with knowledge while nurturing their emotional stability, physical well-being, and social responsibility.
Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every child feels at home. We strive to in still essential skills, values, and resilience to navigate today’s rapidly evolving world. We guide our students to be eco-conscious, respect diversity, and uphold integrity. I take great pride in our school’s legacy and, together with our faculty and parents, remain committed to inspiring and empowering the leaders of tomorrow.
