St. Francis de Sales School, also known as Francis de Sales or SFS, is a co-educational private English Medium school in New Delhi, India. Privately funded and independent, it was founded in 1978 by Fr. Thomas Thoomkuzy. The school is a recognized Christian minority private institution run by the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales[2] and affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education.

History

The school was established on 9 April 1978 by Father Thomas Thoomkuzy. The foundation stone for the building was laid on 9 July 1977 by Shri Sikandar Bhakt, the Union Minister for Works and Housing. The foundation stone was blessed by his Excellency Rt. Rev. Dr. Luciano Storero, the Apostolic nuncio to India.[3]

This is the first school in Delhi that has implemented the technology of closed circuit television in its classrooms, named "Vidya Darpan".[4]

The school started with 117 students and had a humble beginning in tents. The high school (grades 9-10) began in the 1982-83 school year, and the first batch of 61 students appeared for their 10th class Board exams in 1983–84. The school was upgraded to Senior Secondary (grades 11-12) the same year.

In April 1982, the foundation of the Hindi medium section (extended section) aimed at providing formal academic education in the afternoon to children from the weak and underprivileged segments of society was started with a batch of 50 students belonging to classes from kindergarten through second grade. In 1993, the extended section was upgraded to class 10 and in 1995 the first batch of students appeared for their CBSE examinations.

In 2002, the School celebrated its silver jubilee after completing 25 years. The school has been consistently ranked among the top schools in West Delhi.[5][6]

The school follows the CBSE curriculum with text-books and study material approved by the board. The Fransalian Educational policy draws inspiration from the Gospels, teachings of the church, patron St. Francis de Sales and the founder Fr. Peter Marie Mermier. The Fransalians have also been guided by the report "A Pastoral plan for Catholic Schools", and "The National Policy on Education", visualizing the need of the hour and the changing modern trends in educational philosophy.[7]
