Correspondent's Message

St Aloysius College Higher Primary School run by the Society of Jesus, has legacy of a hundred and thirty six years of service to the cause of education. Thousands of students have passed through her portals and now are serving the country in different capacities. The school welcomes you too, who have joined this large family to be educated here. It offers various facilities and you are invited to make use of them so that in turn you can make proper use of the many talents God has given you and thus prepare yourself as a full fledged person to serve God and mankind.

St Aloysius College Higher Primary School is a minority-run institution intended primarily for Catholic students. However the school also accepts others without making any distinction. In our admission policy we preferentially opt for the poor.

Our Motto

The Motto of this Institution is “Lucet et Ardet”. These Latin words which mean “Shine to Enkindle” refer to the mind and heart. It is the deep desire of this Alma Mater to present to the world and to our nation person's with minds bright with knowledge and creativity and hearts burning with genuine love and concern for others.

Our Vision

Empowering youth through excellence in education to shape a better future for humankind.

Our Mission

St Aloysius Institutions of the Mangalore Jesuit Educational Society, inspired by Jesus Christ and guided by the motto “Lucet et Ardet”, commit themselves to impart integral education, to spread the light of knowledge and wisdom, to kindle the ardor of faith that does justice, to form men and women for and with  others who are: academically accomplished, emotionally balanced, morally upright, socially responsible, ecologically sensitive, professionally dedicated for the transformation of the society.

Aims and Objectives of the School

The School aims at forming totally integrated persons with

  • Genuine human and spiritual values.
  • A genuine concern for the welfare of others.
  • A commitment to truth and justice
  • To strive for academic excellence.
  1. To face life today, text-book knowledge alone is insufficient. Hence the school provides a large library and a reading room. You are expected to make the best use of these by personal work, study and reflection.
  2. The School has extensive playgrounds for different games. You are invited to acquire some skill at least in one of the games.
  3. A truly educated person should reveal all the human values. For this realisation the Jesuit Fathers have been giving great importance to moral and spiritual education. Hence you are expected not to treat moral science as one of the many subjects but one which will help to build your total personality.
  4. Initiative and leadership comes only when you broaden the horizon of your vision and the many co-curricular activities that we provide through the various clubs will help you to become a leader, a creative and independent thinker.
  5. The Indian ethos lays great stress on respect and reverence to a teacher who is instrumental in moulding your personality. Hence respect for all teachers present and past who have helped you in this process is duty-bound homage to them.

The guiding values of compassion, commitment, conscience,creativity,critical thinking, collaboration (teamwork) and cosmic orientedness (care for the mother earth and the whole of the cosmos) will be the foundation on which we will proceed to build our School. Along with the excellent infrastructure which is already in place we hope to offer a broader range of co-curricular activities as the School proceeds to grow.

The website gives us a quick overview of the events and activities of our school. We are committed to nurture each student’s potential and personalize the learning experience for every student. Professional and motivated faculty is dedicated to the excellent delivery of education through innovative methods of teaching. We aim to keep our students dreams and aspirations alive. At SAHPS, we enable our students to exercise genuine respect for others, develop healthy relationships and to become responsible citizens to build a humane society.
