St. Xavier's Senior Secondary School, Civil Lines, Delhi

“There are two types of education- one that teaches you how to make a living and the other that teaches you how to live.”

The agenda of education at Xavier’s is to focus more on formation of the youth rather than just imparting knowledge. In a world that is getting more and more bankrupt on basic human values Xaverians are trained to become better human beings. The school inculcates the qualities of a passion for excellence, desire for freedom, courage, confidence, spirit of inquisitiveness etc. in its students.

Education at Xavier’s transcends the boundaries of the classrooms. The four walls of the classroom and what happens therein do not define education. The teachers as well as students are infused with a rare passion much like that of our patron saint and founder – St. Francis Xavier and Ignatius of Loyola. Without being overtly spoken about, these great saints have found their way into the life blood of every Xaverian student and teacher alike.

WE AIM :

• To develop in the student an attitude of openness to growth and enable him to begin to take responsibility for his own growth.
• To prepare the student to be intellectually competent: to promote the development of the intellectual skills, understanding, and mastery of the academic requirements necessary for advanced forms of education and for life.
• To help the student to become mature religiously: to help him to know the major doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church and to learn to examine critically his own religious feelings and beliefs.
• To help the student to become a loving person: to assist him in the establishment of his own identity and in his movement beyond self-centeredness toward more significant relationships with others.
• To foster in the student a commitment to doing justice: to help him develop as a person for others and to prepare him to take his place as a competent , concerned, and responsible member of society.
