Legacy of St. Dominic's School

A Heritage of Compassion and Service

Founded in 1877 by Blessed Mary of the Passion (Helen de Chappotin) at Ootacamund, Tamil Nadu, St. Dominic’s School stands as a testament to the enduring mission of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. This international religious congregation of women, representing 82 nationalities across 77 countries, has dedicated itself to a variety of apostolic endeavors, notably in education, medical care, and social work. The sisters’ unwavering commitment to serving the economically weak and socially marginalized with compassion, understanding, and generosity has created a legacy that continues to inspire.

Guiding Principles and Symbolism

The school motto, “TOWARDS CHARITY BY TRUTH,” serves as a constant reminder of our core values. It acts as a compass, guiding students through life’s complexities with integrity and purpose. The school flag, emblazoned with this motto, is a symbol of unity and inspiration, encouraging students to strive towards their goals with determination and faith.

Our mission is to love God, seek the truth, and uphold ideals of justice and fairness. This unifying principle forms the foundation of our spiritual and moral education, fostering a community where both staff and students aim high and rely on divine providence as they pursue their aspirations.

Commitment to Excellence and Inclusivity

One of the primary missions of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in India is to provide formal education at all levels. While we prioritize admitting students from the Catholic community, we also welcome individuals from all castes, creeds, and religions, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity.

Our dedication to serving economically disadvantaged and socially backward students has remained steadfast. Empowering young girls through education, with unwavering dedication and commitment, has been our hallmark. As we continue to advance, we remain proud of our legacy and excited about the future, striving for new heights of excellence.

Marching Forward with Zeal

Our staff and students are imbued with a zeal to march forward, always aiming high. We seek God’s providence as we forge ahead, forming individuals who uphold the ideals of truth and justice. This enduring legacy of St. Dominic’s School is a beacon of hope and inspiration, illuminating the path for future generations to follow.
