St. Mary’s Convent Senior
Secondary School Ujjain is run by the Franciscan Sisters of St. Mary of
the Angels (F.S.M.A) a religious Congregation dates back to 8th July 1964.
Three young enthusiastic and zealous pioneers arrived at Ujjain to open
an English Medium School in response to the demand of the local population
and Mr. Tickoo, the then Collector of Ujjain. The School started officially
functioning in August 1964 in a rented building at Freeganj with about
150 students on the roll. In the year 1966, the school was shifted to
its present building.
This
temple of learning was built brick by brick and its traditions year by
year. The tiny seed, which was sown in 1964, has grown into a mighty tree
now. In the span of forty seven years, thousands of students have joyously
spent their best years here. Today it has over 2000 students.
St.
Mary’s has rendered and is still rendering yeomen service in the
educational field in Ujjain by endeavouring to give the best to its students
in their early formative years. Realizing our social responsibility towards
the marginalized section of the Society, the afternoon shift in vernacular
was started in 1980, exclusively for such students. Our students have
been doing wonderfully well in the Board Exams and the various competitive
exams as well. We congratulate them and we are proud of them. But we don’t
consider this as the only aim of a pupil’s life at school. We aim
at unraveling human and spiritual excellence along with intellectual and
academic excellence.
