A temple of learning and a training ground for future citizens

St. Jude’s! A home away from home, a temple of learning and a training ground for future citizens. Be it the meandering route around lofty hills in Kotagiri or the greenery all round, nothing has changed since my school days at St. Jude’s in 1984. The picturesque scenery gladdens my heart and mind at the very thought of St. Jude’s.

The school and the school motto are more than enough to describe self-reliance, in the best possible way. It conveys that when you are self-reliant, you do not need your parents to do everything for you because you know how to take care of yourself. When you are self-reliant, you can depend on your own skills to support yourself and to help others in your family and community. And this very reason is why I enrolled my son Saketh Rajaram into the same school that I studied.

The quality of education, food, sports, environment of school or the principles that St. Jude’s gives the students, is definitely State of the art! Therefore, in my opinion the best gift that a parent can give his child is St. Jude’s Public School.
