History of the Society of St.Ursula
This school is an english medium school managed by the Society of St.Ursula.
A young French woman, later to be known as Mother Anne De Xainctogne became deeply aware of the lack of educational opportunities for the girls of her time and was inspired to open school
On 29th November 1596, Mother Anne left her native town , Dijion, France, inspite of all resistance from her family to start the Society of St.Ursula. Through struggles and sufferings, she founded the Society of St.Ursula on 16th June 1606.
Many young women joined her and committed themselves to this noble profession of educating girls and women of their time.
Our Foundress said
"We will not carry big torches, which will throw light far and wide; but we will carry little lamps which will throw some light on the path of women and girls"
This is what we, the Sisters of the Society of St. Ursula, popularly known as Ursulines, are doing along with our committed staff, working in selfless dedication to impart education to the children of the area.
