St. Xavier's School is a private school in Doranda, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India that was established in 1960.[1] It is named after Saint Francis Xavier, co-founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order). It is run by the Society of Jesus and provides education from kindergarten to standard 12. Plus two (+2) was started in 2000 and was run under the guidance of the late Hira Prasad. The school is boys-only until standard 10 with its plus two section being co-educational.

Until about 1976, the school followed the Cambridge Higher Secondary curriculum and now follows the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education[2] (ICSE) curriculum. Many students from the school leave to join St. Xavier's College, Ranchi or other schools offering education beyond standard 10. The school feeds students into the engineering colleges (IITs and BIT, NIT's, KIIT, etc.) and medical colleges of India.[3] It is now one of the most renowned schools in the east zone and is famous for its achievements in fields such as sports, debate, academics, quizzes and many more.

The motto of the school was coined in Sanskrit by Fr. C. Bulcke, when Courage to Excel by All was considered a contribution towards the building up of one country and one nation.[4]

History

This school was started in response to a request from the professional community of Heavy Engineering Corporation, Hindustan Steel Ltd., and the National Coal Development Corporation, in 1960.

Notable alumni

Students and alumni are referred to as Xaverians or DOXs.[5] The Doranda Old Xaverians are mainly networked through their Yahoo group.[6] The alumni meet in locations like Mumbai, Delhi, San Francisco, and Singapore,[7] besides the get-togethers at Ranchi.

St Xavier's Doranda is a part of the Jesuit Alumni Association of India. Recently in a national survey, it was awarded the silver medal throughout India.[8]
