The year 2020 has been a challenging year with the established world order being absolutely disrupted due to the covid 19 pandemic. Human beings have been severely affected in one way or other. The economy was in tatters and the health situation was at its worst we have seen this century. With lockdowns and restrictions, the impact was also felt on the education sector, but we adapted to ensure that the learning never stopped.In St. Francis Mathura, we realized that this was the new normal and we adopted to create a new and effective online learning module for our children.

Regular PTMs and feedback ensured quick course-correction and appreciation from our parents. We believe in the concept of holistic development with the mix of academic and extra-curricular activities that give children a creative outlet, to showcase their talents and enhance confidence. Added impetus was therefore laid on organizing functions and celebrations, albeit virtually and of late visually so that students didn’t miss out fun aspect of school. The effort of the management, teachers and children is evident in the picture and videos of all activities displayed on our official website. Our greatest achievement during the past year has got to be the overwhelming response that we have received in terms of new admissions. This is the result of positive word of mouth from parents who are satisfied with the level of education that we are providing to their wards. It is alsoa matter of great pride and validation for the entire management and staff of St. Francis School, Mathura for all our efforts during a very difficult time. I would like to extend my immense gratitude to our dear parents for their co-operation and absolute faith in us. We couldn’t have accomplished even half of what we have without your support. Today, we have a sense of fulfilment because of what we have achieved, ensuring a high quality of education when children have not been able to attend school. I understand there are different Kinds of education and Institution today, but we are committed to provide the foundation for a better future with the emphasis on character formation, innovative learning and enhancement of individual potential. My wish that every Franciscan should become a better human being with a global outlook.
