Rev. Dr. Albert D' Souza, the Arch Bishop of Agra. Rev. Fr. Philip Correia founder Principal was ably aided and supported by Rev. Sisters Valsa, Sophia and Marina the pioneer members of the Helpers of Mary Congregation. Many hands and heads have pooled in the Strength and wisdom needed for the success of St. Clare's School. Special mention has to be made of Reverend Fathers Late Joe Vadakkekara, Paul Thanickal and Dennis D' Souza for their untiring and creative efforts in guiding the growth of St. Clare's School, Unit II.

This brief history would be incomplete without a grateful remembrance of all those who have played a role in making this St. Clare Family what it is today: the past teachers, parents, friends, well wishers, benefactors, and so on. An institution of this magnitude and status cannot stand head above shoulders of the rest without the good will and support of the people of the place. We are also indebted to the management for its timely assistance and guidance. The present staff, students and the ministerial community leave no stone unturned to keep the flag of St. Clare's School fluttering.

Vision & Goals

Academic excellence is appropriate but only within the larger context of human excellence, the fullest possible development of every dimension of the person, linked to the development of a sense of values and a commitment to the service of others.

The whole educational process is seen as a way leading to an anticipated experience here and now of the new society we would reconstruct.

Regarding option for the poor

The poor form the context of education, our primary concern, no matter who are actually admitted in the school. Every aspect of the educational endeavor must be seen from their point of view.

The institution as such functions. as a protest force, challenging the prevailing values and attitudes of our unjust and exploitative system, such as a selfish individuals, unbridled competition, acquisitiveness, and other expressions of consumerism, (eg. Counter-witness to the values of the consumer society requires institutional and personal austerity, not allowing the kinds of lavish celebrations, excursion etc. which are out of tune with the reality of the poverty that surrounds us; not buying expensive equipment or furniture that is not really necessary etc.) – as a creative force, fostering the values and attempting in any way possible to bring about the structures of the new society within itself and in the neighborhood.

The integral education aimed at by the school includes intellectual as well as emotional, social, moral and spiritual formation.

  • A realistic knowledge of society, with its opportunities for human development as well as of social evil, is gradually imparted to students in various courses with a "call to secure a total improvement."
