Principal’s Message


Inspired by the vision of Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey, the Foundress of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, we follow her pedagogy which is based on the conviction that Education consists in showing persons “how to be more” and not only “to have more”. They “should become better”, not only for themselves but also for others.

I deem it as a privilege to convey this message in the website of Cluny Matric Higher Secondary School, Katpadi, Vellore District, Tamilnadu State. We believe in an all round development and liberation of the human person, and not in just developing intellect. We trust that every student has the potential to achieve greatness. The dedicated faculty work tirelessly to provide a supportive and challenging learning experience that inspires students to utilize their potential to reach the excellence. We are committed to create a safe, inclusive and nurturing ambience where every student feels valued and respected.

Our academic programs are designed to meet the diverse needs and interests of our wards, preparing them for success in all walks of life. In addition to our rigorous academic curriculum, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and clubs to help students develop their talents and interests. As we continue to navigate the challenges of the modern world, we remain committed to our core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, and excellence. Education is a venture of commitment of dedicated teachers, motivated students and enlightened parents.,We adapt the inclusive mode of instruction where the management takes along the parents/guardians of our students as stake holders. We ensure that our students have the support and resources they need to succeed. Thus actively involved in their child's education. Together, let us make our school a home of wisdom, fostering knowledge of heart and light to our mind, thus make leaders for a just world!
