ABOUT DURUELO CONVENT
Duruelo Convent High School was established in the year 1963 in response to the invitation to take over the girls’ section of St. Theresa’s High School, Bandra. It is a Christian School established and administered by the Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa, a Religious of the Archbishop of Mumbai. It is affiliated to the Archdiocesan Board of Education.
The School aims primarily at the education of the Catholic community and the preservation of the Catholic faith and religious practices. Hence, preference in admission to the school will be given to Catholic girls. Admission will however, to the extent possible, be given to girls of other communities without distinction of caste or creed. With a view to preserving our Catholic faith, classes in the Catholic religion will be conducted and it will be obligatory for Catholic children to attend these classes.
The School stands for academic excellence, development of skills and character formation based on the love of God and the service of people as modelled on Jesus Christ with a view to achieving its educational goal.
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
"The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover." Jean Piaget
At Duruelo Convent, we believe that education is not merely the acquisition of knowledge but the journey of transforming young minds into compassionate, responsible, and steadfast individuals. Our school has always stood as a beacon of academic excellence, grounded in the values of faith, integrity, and service.
We aim to equip our students with the critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence essential to navigate an ever-changing world. The success of our students is built on the strong foundation of the "Golden Triangle", the student, the teacher, and the parent. We deeply value the trust you place in us and remain committed to fostering an open, collaborative relationship. Together, we can encourage our children to dream big, persevere, and treat others with kindness.
We the Carmelite sisters of St. Teresa emphasize on instilling in our students not only the desire to succeed academically but also to be compassionate and virtuous individuals who will make a positive impact in their lives and in the world around them. May we continue to grow, " Little by Little,” into the best versions of ourselves.
