Educational values
The primary aim of the school is to give its pupils an education in keeping with
the culture and tradition of the country. They are trained to realise their responsibilities
and to develop a strong civic sense or spirit that will prepare them for leadership
in the society to which they belong.
The greatest emphasis is placed on the knowledge and love of God, the formation
of a true moral conscience, appreciation of family life and the service of their
country. Loreto Convent Entally has a staff strength of 49 teachers, who constitute
the backbone of the Institution. Their selfless service and commitment is unparalleled.
