Lead kindly Light, amidst the encircling gloom…"his prayer is the essence of our educational objectives – to lead the children from darkness to light ….Montfort has been performing such a stupendous task ever since the beginning of the 19th century.In the New Millennium as a "School of Excellence", it has further qualified its beliefs in the philosophy of quality education.Here in Montfort, we do not stop with the amount of information that is imparted to each child, but take it further to focus on man-making, life-building, character formation and spiritual growth. In other words, the ultimate end of our "Labour" is "Virtue".Excellence in academics' is our prime concern though sports and games and other extracurricular activities too form an integral part of Montfort.
