Principal’s Message

The glittering success of the Modernites is a testimony to the fact that the students are doing ordinary things extraordinary well. The school is a lofty social institution committed to the service of the society. Fully alive to the changes taking place in every aspect of school education, we aim at moulding and shaping the students such that when they leave the portal of the school, they are civilized persons, repository of human values and catalysts for social change.

Humility is the jewel of studentsForbearance is the real beauty of a person

of all the rituals,adherence to truth.
