Loyola School Jamshedpur

This was the very first school established by the Jesuits of Maryland Province. The purpose of this school is to help us in the responsibility of fashioning and moulding our students to the stature envisioned by Loyola School in its motto: IN CARITATE ET IUSTITIA (In Love and Justice). At the end of 60 years of its existence, the school has earned for itself the status of a premier institution, having on its rolls over 3000 students. In 1990 after having been the “only” boys school in the city, it went co-ed, allowing girls to invade a male bastion. In the space of a decade we have 300 Catholic boys, 70 Catholic girls, and the rest are made up of 2000 boys and 700 girls from other denominations. The off shoot of all this is a very vibrant Alumni/ae Association that reflect the values learnt while at school. For the past decade it has been offering Arts, Science and Commerce at the Higher Secondary School level.

The purpose of this School is to help us in the responsibility of fashioning and moulding our students to the stature envisioned by Loyola School in its motto : IN CARITATE ET IUSTITIA (In Love and Justice). The discharge of this responsibility requires resources both spiritual and material. What the Society of Jesus has done and continues to do in its colleges and schools scattered throughout India, this we shall do in Jamshedpur.

These institutions have for their sole objective the formation of young men of noble character, the rearing of worthy citizens of India. Young men who will face life with vision and courage, with tenacity of purpose to pursue ideals in Caritate et iustitia. Love means respect and good will towards our fellowmen; it means a respect that embraces all men without distinction, since are all children of a common Father. Justice means giving to God, to one’s own country and to other mean their due. This is the objective of Jesuit education, this is the reason for the existence of Loyola School. We have set our sights high. We are confident of success. We are confident because we know that, though our task is difficult, we are not alone, our generous friends will second and sustain our very effort, and God above all will bless us all.
