Aim & Purposes

" The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values. " -William S. Burroughs

While the prime purpose of the establishment of St. Agnes School is the education of Catholic girls in Catholic faith principles, pupils of other faiths irrespective of caste, creed or community are also accepted. The School fosters the all-round growth and development of each student to her fullest potential spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. It guides her in the development of a sound value system and inculcates in her a deep love and appreciation for our culture and our country.

The education imparted is characterized by thoroughness, high principles and freedom. The student is helped to grow in responsibility, self- reliance and human maturity so that she finds meaning and purpose in life and is inspired to live and work for the building up of a just and fraternal society. Hence the idea of service is set before the pupil who is trained to show concern for others, to be aware of their needs and to make sacrifices, when necessary, to share what they have with the less privileged. Efforts are on to instill sense of community spirit rather than a spirit of competition.
