Our Culture

Carmel Convent Senior Secondary School is committed to offer a life-oriented education that is humanizing and liberative, enabling the students to be socially conscious and justice-oriented. Empowerment of the poor and the marginalized will be a priority, and respect for God's creation will be fostered. The thrust is in the light of a 'Civilization of Love'- the Kingdom of God as envisaged and promoted by the Foundress, Servant of God - Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima.

It aims at the all round development of the student; spiritual, moral, mental, emotional, physical, social and the formation of an upright and a perfect citizen. Hence the School programme is planned in terms of needs arising from such a development. For the Catholics, education is given a religious as well as moral basis.

It thus endeavours to contribute to the necessary transformation of the prevailing social conditions. This transformation, as understood by it, envisages that the principles of social justice, equality of opportunity, genuine freedom and respect for religious and moral values enshrined in the Constitution of India shall prevail, and that men live in keeping with their human dignity and self respect.

It strives to build up the integral formation of the young. To accomplish this it endeavours to create an environment which generates a love for learning, habits of critical thought and accurate expression and the strength of character and the moral value needed for life that is socially meaningful. Therefore special efforts are made to teach students :-

  • to be unselfish in the service of their fellow beings;
  • to become agents of needed social change in their country;
  • to value and judiciously use their freedom;
  • to be clear and firm on principles and courageous in action;
  • to become mature, spiritually oriented persons of character;
  • and to continuously strive for excellence in every field.
