Mary Immaculate School was founded in 1958 with one pupil on roll, in a rented house, on 5th Cross for the benefit of the children of Wilson Garden and the neighboring extensions. Within six months the strength of the class rose to 48 and today it has grown in leaps and bounds.
Sister Corona, the Superior, Sister Gonzaga and Sister Sebastiana were the pioneers who occupied a rented house on 6th cross. In 1962 the school was sanctioned on the European School scheme – the Anglo Indian S. S. C. scheme. In 1966 Aug. 30th a Special G. O. was issued giving permission to switch over from the Anglo Indian School scheme to the State Syllabus as per the wish of the Management. Though the parents were free to take their children to European schools, no one asked for a T. C. All credit goes to the little school for its efficiency and popularity. In 1967 on February 16th permission was given to start the High School. Over the years the strength of the school has outgrown. The school that was started in a rented house now has its own spacious buildings.
Reading the signs of the time, the changing scenario in the field of Education and at the request of the educated parents, the Management ventured into the new vistas that is to change over from the State Syllabus to Indian Council for School Certificate Examination (ICSE). It was an arduous journey to get the NOC from the Government. The Principal Sister Maria Laila, left no stone unturned to bring in the political influence to get the NOC from the State Government and finally on 1st Oct. 2012 the School got the NOC and on 19th Nov. 2013 the Temporary Affiliation without much difficulty as the school had the entire needed infrastructure. The first batch of 31 students of class X moved out with distinction.The permanent affiliation was received on 17-11-2017. The school code is KA 265.
Students are encouraged and trained to participate in interschool and regional competitions bringing laurels to the school. We owe our success to the blessings of Mary Immaculate, the patroness of our school and seek divine Providence as we steer the institution to greater heights.
