St. Xavier’s Senior Secondary School, Jaipur is a Christian minority school under the management of the Jesuits, an international Christian Religious Order, known as the Society of Jesus.
St. Xavier’s School for boys was founded in July, 1941 under the name of St. Mary’s Boy’s School in the Roman Catholic Church Compound at Ghat Gate, Jaipur by Rev. Fr. Ignatius, O.F.M. Cap. In July 1943 its management was entrusted to the Jesuit Fathers, renowned for their educational work. The school was transferred to the present site and renamed St. Xavier’s School in January, 1945, and still later as St. Xavier’s Sr. Sec. School.
About
St. Xavier's School
The Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, has, since its origin, been active in the field of education throughout the world. In India, the Society of Jesus is at present responsible for more than one hundred high schools and 25 colleges in which over a lakh and a half, young people belonging to every creed, social class, community and linguistic group are educated through the medium of English and regional languages. These institutions are part of the Catholic Church’s effort to share in the country’s educational undertaking. This effort, while particularly responsible to the Christian community, has always been at the service of the whole nation. Thus in these institutions, recognised as Christian Minority Institutions, the religious beliefs of all students are treated with respect.

Dear Parents, Students and well wishers, With the advent of National Education Policy (NEP 2020) many innovative ideas are presented to us by the government in the school and college education. The structure of school education has been remodelled from 10+2 system to 5+3+3+4 system, i.e., Foundational (5 years = pre-school to grade 2), Preparatory (3years = grades 3-5), Middle (3 years = grades 6-8) and Secondary (4years = grades 9-12). The new system lays grater emphasis on experiential learning based on learning outcomes than mere rote learning of facts. What is envisaged through this attempt is to develop good human beings capable of rational thought and action, possessing compassion and empathy, courage and resilience, scientific temper and creative imagination, with sound ethical moorings and values. It aims at building an equitable, inclusive, and plural society.
We at Xavier’s have been continuing the mission of shaping young minds since 1941. The changing educational scenario in the post Covid-19 era and the implementation of NEP-2020 guidelines calls for constant updating and reinventing ourselves to be relevant in the present context. At the same time, we cannot compromise on the values and pillars of Jesuit Educational pedagogy and practice i.e., Competence, Conscience, Compassion and Commitment. Duties precede rights. Let us transcend our limitations and exhibit better work ethics. I invite all the stakeholders to be partners in the mission of education and to work towards shaping a better India with the values enshrined in our Constitution.
Sincerely,
Fr. M. Arockiam, SJ
