The Aim of St. Mary's School
The Aim of St. Mary's School is all-round formation of the students. As an educational institute, St. Mary's School aims at preparing students to become responsible, competent citizens who are at the same time concerned about others especially the underprivileged, in order to build up a just society.

Studies and Curriculum
The present course of studies extends from Nursery to Std. to X and is oriented towards the Central Board of Secondary Education (C.B.S.E.).
The medium of instruction is English. However, Hindi has a vital role in the curriculum and is taught daily in all standards. Education at St. Mary's is liberal and universal, but at the same time it is an Indian and firmly rooted In Indian Tribal history and tradition according to the suggestion made by the Indian Education Commissions.
The curriculum, therefore, embraces Religion, Moral Instructions, English Literature & Composition, Hindi, Environmental Education, History, Geography, Civics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Accounts, Economics, Computer Science, Socially useful productive works etc.
Since education at St. Mary's school is conducted in English and a high standard of English is required for success in C.B.S.E. and the use of English in the school campus is compulsory.
Regular attendance, alertness in the class, performance of regular class work and revision are sufficient to make progress.
Parents could make the class teaching even more valuable if they speak correct English and Hindi to their children at home. In this connection it is to be noted that private tuition is regarded as unnecessary. If not harmful, it encourages students to be inattentive I the class. No student is allowed to go to his/her own subject teacher for tuition.
