About School

"The church has always recognized that education is an essential dimension of her mission. Our aim in pursuit of intellectual and professional excellence should be the total formation of the human person as much for her/his own enrichment as for the service of the society and the nation in the spirit of Christ."
To uplift women is a major concern of CMC education. We strive to bring change in the status of women today. Avila has been a pioneer in the field of education; always providing a healthy atmosphere conducive to the young minds to bring out their latent potentialities. Students are trained not only to attain academic excellence but also to imbibe and impart moral values and to become useful citizens. They are moulded into noble personalities with their gentleness, courage, patience, honesty and modesty through the motto –"Love , Truth and Service"

Avila Convent Mat. Hr. Sec School is run by the sisters of the congregation of Mother of Carmel (CMC). It is a large Congregation of sisters founded by Blessed Chavara Kuriakose Elias, numbering above 6000 working all over India and abroad. The charism of this congregation is 'contemplation in action' . CMC aims at the intellectual, social, economic, moral and spiritual formation of the people particularly of women and children.

The CMC educational policy states that value formation is to education what the spirit is to the body. It is a training for the life time. Imbibing right values becomes an investment in personal attitudes and convictions, and the dividends are paid in all life experiences. So our educational mission takes the youth beyond facts and concepts to the level of values. Care is taken to make Educational process a tool for the cultivation of social, ethical and spiritual values which enable him or her to become an agent of social transformation.

Social awareness is very essential for building a welfare community. Personal contact with the poor and miserable around us open their eyes to the crude realities of life which fellow beings face. The sensitivity to the needs, problems and difficulties of life make them aware of the need for social justice.

This was the vision we had before us when we started a home at Coimbatore in 1967, loving fold, the agonies of the sick, the destitute, the poor and the needy.
