.It is a standing testimony to a rich and long tradition of selfless service to society and to the nation at large. The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Tarbes was founded in France by six young girls who had a special experience of God, urging them to live together a life of contemplation. Gripped by the love of God, they came to India and on 13th May 1882 they took up the mission of serving the sick at the Bowring Hospital, Bangalore. Bishop Coadou helped the sisters to settle in Bangalore and to take charge of the Day School at St. Johns Hill, run by the Fathers of St.Francis Xavier Church. To start with, they admitted only European girls. But the sisters soon reached out to the Anglo -Indians and the vast majority of Indian population. Recognition as a High School came in 1916, while the boarding was started in 1923.Based on the bed rock of Christian values and traditions, the school offers holistic education, striking the perfect balance between academics, sports and co-curriculum with special emphasis on the all round growth of the child. The school imparts education that enables every child to become an integrated human being, developing intellectually, morally, spiritually and socially. This approach has been instrumental in transforming innumerable young girls into visionary, articulate and ethical women of high competence and great character who are invaluable assets to society. The school believes that every child has the potential of becoming a light to the world. The holistic education imparted at SFX is its mission to make every child a gift of God to mankind. The school has one of the oldest National Cadet Corps (NCC) troops in Bangalore apart from Bulbuls and Guides that helps build leadership qualities. Respect for life, Career Guidance, Value Education etc. have helped girls shape their career based on a firm moral footing.

Very good English knowledge in the zone. Strict and disciplined. Admission process slightly complicated, very difficult to get a seat. Again it depends on luck....

This is for the parents who want their girl child to be grown up with values in this present world of obsession for mobile and social media and modern children of other reputed institutions, I feel this is the right place with a conservative ambience where at each and every child will be followed by the teachers and sisters who are loaded in tons of morale of life.
They are committed to providing the best of values along with the education.
I am one among the luckiest who is honoured by the outcome of this institutes products. I'm always indebted to this prestigious institute.

First of all I am a boy who attended this school who let us in for the primary years. It was a feeder school to St. Germain's / St Joseph's at the time. Felt like I was at a school in England when I studied there in the late 70s. Great history and legacy and fantastic foundation. Had a great principal at the time Sr. Benedicta. Location and facilities are worth the money. One of the best schools in Bangalore for girls. Teach great morals/ values and tolerance along with academic brilliance. Part of the elite convent /Christian schools for girls in Bangalore along with Sophia's, Bishop Cottons and Baldwins. Now there are probably many more non-convent but similar standard. Unfortunately became all girls from Year 3 so had to shift to all boys St. Germain's school down the road. But still miss this great place.
