The Annual Report showcases the achievements and glories of our school undoubtedly, but also makes us think deeply about our shortcomings.

This year has been a very eventful one for us. We have made great efforts to transform ourselves completely into the CBSE’s updated scholastic format and have been extremely successful in most of our endeavors. Apart from preparing the children to qualify for purely academic demands, special efforts are being made continuously to enable them to face the challenges of the competitive world. It’s a matter of great importance to us that the students who pass out from our portals should carry forward the values they have inherited, excel in whatever they do and be role models in the society.

In Sabarigiri English School, we believe that every individual has a lot of potential, and that potential can help accomplish wonders. That is why, it is fair to say that we thus believe that the future of the world starts here. The session of 2023-24 was a great year, and I consider it a moment of pride to show case to

We are also constantly encouraged by parents and well wishers who have shown much confidence and given their full support. I wish to acknowledge the guidance and efforts of our management as their collaboration and contributions have made a difference.
