Aims & Objective
The primary aim of St. Xavier's School is to impart sound formation - religious, mental, moral, social and physical to all who are admitted to this institution. Inspired by the motto of the Society of Jesus given by its founding father St. Ignatius of Loyola - " ad majorem Dei gloriam" (AMDG), that is, "for the greater glory of God", we the Jesuit Fathers and Brothers, in collaboration with a competent and dedicated lay staff, aim at forming the children into men and women of Competence, Conscience and Compassionate Commitment (four Cs), which are the 4 pillars of the Characteristics of Jesuit Education.
To achieve this aim we have the following objectives:
The boys and girls enrolled at St. Xavier's are expected to develop the following qualities and
skills during the years of their formation:
- An enlightened mind that would strive for excellence in every sphere with stress on personal development and co-operation rather than on over-riding others.
- Qualities of leadership through active participation in games and co-curricular activities, especially social work.
- Eloquence in the art of expression so that they can effectively communicate the ideas acquired.
- Correct habits of thinking developed by means of personal experience (learning by doing), observation and judgment, in study of science, mathematics and languages, etc.
- A character with strong and clear principles by which they will think and act according to what is right and just.
- An appreciation for manual labour encouraged and directed through community- oriented projects.
- An appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of our country.
- A spirit of service to their fellow human beings.
- A spirit of tolerance and appreciation that transcends the barriers of caste, language and religion, which helps to achieve national integration.
- Above all, a loyalty to God and Country.
