ABOUT US

Saint George, the Patron Saint of the Orthodox Syrian Christians, is the embodiment of piety, courage, gentleness, kind-heartedness and justice. And these are the qualities that St. George's School endeavours to imbibe in its students, in addition to excellence in academics and sports.

The School was founded in 1962 by late Rev. Fr. V.C. George, a Christian Missionary priest belonging to the Indian Orthodox Church. It is a minority institution run by the Christian minority. It is affiliated to the CBSE and has been granted recognition by the Directorate of Education. But it is a school with a difference, where value orientation has been one of the most important focuses. It is a unique mix of the traditional and the modern. It blends old and time-tested values with modern knowledge and state-of-the-art facilities.

The management and staff have joined hands to make students highly disciplined, environmentally conscious, God fearing, respectful, considerate and courageous.
