““Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” – Aristotle”
Santhome offers preparatory programmes that provide a challenging academic environment emphasizing not only learning but also social and personal growth. At the heart of our philosophy lie values of trust, respect, innovation, and a sense of community. Building on these firm foundations, we continue to focus on enhancing the quality of school life for the benefit of our learners. Our buildings have been renovated, high-quality teachers appointed, and the curriculum is regularly reviewed to ensure that it remains relevant and future-focused, allowing both learners and teachers to fully exploit the best of modern learning opportunities.
This institution envisages an all-round and balanced education based on sound intellectual, physical, moral, and social formation. Special emphasis is laid on character formation and personality development. Our aim is to nurture students to be erudite, patriotic, law-abiding, and ceaselessly striving for excellence, while also cultivating deep concern for all, especially for the weak and marginalized sections of society. Whatever you learn here will guide you throughout life, enabling you to stand firm in every situation and making your journey successful and fulfilling.
At Santhome, the curriculum emphasizes knowledge, understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. We believe every learner is unique and has the ability to succeed. As educators, it is our responsibility to nurture and develop each child, preparing them for life beyond school. Learners are continually encouraged to value diversity, care for others, and develop into responsible global citizens with respect for the environment.
Our dedicated team strives for excellence by preparing students for lifelong learning. We encourage them to become self-directed, realistic, and responsible decision-makers in an ever-changing, multicultural world. Ultimately, each learner’s success depends on the effort they invest, and we are committed to guiding them at every step.
We also recognize the importance of collaboration between teachers, parents, and administrators. To strengthen this bond, we organize “Know Your Child” parent-teacher meetings every second Saturday. Additionally, our school uses ‘Newgen’ ERP software for administration and effective parent-school communication. Parents are also given access to our interactive website to track academic progress and stay informed about our academic and co-curricular activities.
As we move forward, I warmly invite all parents to stay engaged with the school, explore our initiatives, and support our mission of holistic education. Together, let us empower our children to embrace the future with confidence, curiosity, and compassion.
May God bless you abundantly.
With best wishes for your success and happiness,
Fr. Biju Joseph
Principal, Santhome Higher Secondary School
