Our History

Don Bosco the Founder

To ensure that his total dedication to their cause shone through his actions, he based his education on the three great principles of Reason, Faith and Loving-kindness, loving those to whom he dedicated his life as a caring father, and doing everything possible for their welfare. The system of education that emerged from these principles of Don Bosco is popularly known as the Preventive System and is the system that is followed in all the Don Bosco Schools, all over the world. Joseph Zoppi, the Swiss educationist said, “If there ever existed a method of education adapted to inspire confidence and love, it is the method of Don Bosco.” The system aims to create a generation of young men and women steeped not only in sound knowledge-based education but also in a strong value-based education for life.

Don Bosco Society

The Don Bosco Society, variously known as “The Salesians of Don Bosco”, “The Don Bosco Educational Society”, etc., was founded by St John Bosco. Today, the Salesian society has over 32,000 members working in 130 countries. Through a global network of educational and social service organizations which include 14 universities and thousands of schools and social development centres, it attends to the total development of the young. It currently caters to over nine million young people the world over. Because of its reach and expertise in the field of education, the Society enjoys consultancy status at the United Nations.

Principal's Desk

We believe in a joyful experiential learning system wherein, each child is encouraged to participate wholeheartedly! At St. Xavier’s School, Harmutty we leave no stone unturned to offer multitudes of opportunities to our children; it is for them to make the most of it. Children should be motivated to grab every opportunity that comes their way which would not only help in their holistic growth but also strengthen their belief in team work, which is important in this fast-paced world. They need to understand the importance of emotional balance, critical thinking, and most importantly accepting failure graciously! It is our strife to endow them with all these qualities and more. We believe in empowering our children in such a manner that they act as representatives of a meaningful and value based society! Our pedagogy which is holistic and comprehensive, complements this. We have a team of fabulous faculty members who display boundless energy and intense commitment which keeps the ethos of our school shining brightly. There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings! One is offered by our loving parents and the other is offered by us. At Saxaha, each day that unfolds, is a wonder and a miracle! When we see our children engaged in multi-skilled activities, we often think: ‘Let us keep alive the child’s in born sense of wonder, let us arouse their curiosity to discover the mystery of the world we live in!’ Thank you all Fr.Tious Varghese SDB (PRINCIPAL)
