St. Mary’s School, Zamania
St. Mary’s School, Zamania, a minority institution, was established in 1990 and administered by the Catholic Diocese of Varanasi, a registered charitable society. It is under the religious jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Diocese of Varanasi. The religious congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Providence is actively involved in its administration.
The school aims at the education of the catholic community around and extends its services to the members of the other communities to the extent possible. The school stands for academic excellence, development of skills and character formation based on the love of God and the service of mankind as modeled in Jesus Christ, with a view to training citizens remarkable for all-round development and sincere commitment to God and country.
The school is affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE), New Delhi (UP205), with ‘No Objection’ certificate from the U.P. Government. It prepares students for the ICSE (10 year course) and ISC (12 year course). The council’s examination curriculum includes, English, Hindi, Sanskrit, History, Civics, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Economics, Commerce, Accountancy, Computer Studies, Computer Applications and Commercial Applications. Hindi is taught from LKG onwards. English is the medium of instruction, communication and examination in this institution.
The School compares favourably with most modern schools in the state. It believes that a sound moral, physical and cultural training is as important as academic and scholastic instruction in preparing students for their role in life. Hence, great importance is attached to games, sports and physical exercises. Dramatics, debates, general knowledge and quiz competitions keep students mentally alert and abreast of the time.
The school, through various activities, inculcates in students a positive inclination towards upholding social and economic justice, dignity of the individual, irrespective of caste and creed, appreciation of our cultural heritage and concern for the environment.
Education alone can bring about human development – development of the whole person.
Our motto ‘from darkness to light’ precisely aims at this.
