About Our School

St. Xavier’s School, Kaiserganj is a Catholic Minority School, established and administered by Xavier’s Patna Association of the Society of Jesus. The Society of Jesus (whose members are known as Jesuits) was founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century. It has been associated with education throughout the world and specially in India. Since the earliest history Jesuit education has been inspired by a vision of man drawn from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ who has always been respected and admired by the people of India. St. Francis Xavier arrived in India in 1541. He died off the China coast in 1552. Amidst his almost incredible journeying in India and as far as Japan and the “Spice Island” or Eastern Indonesia, carrying Christ’s message of divine love and mercy, he found time to organize the first Jesuit school in India. His name lives on today in many schools, colleges, and institutes of advanced training throughout the subcontinent just as his example of self-sacrificing love continues to inspire his fellow Jesuits. The Jesuit Fathers and Brothers, in collaboration with a competent and dedicated lay staff, run St. Xavier’s School.

Founded in 2022, St. Xavier’s is meant primarily for Catholics but is open to all, irrespective of religion, caste or community who would be trained to lead lives in keeping with the school motto For God and Country. The goal of St. Xavier’s School that the young men/women it prepares for the world may be able to distinguish themselves by their selfless service, a service inspired by the reality that as children of God we are all brothers and sisters responsible for one another.
