Loreto Convent Intermediate College in Lucknow, inspired by the vision of Venerable Mary Ward, focuses on educating
young women to be responsible global citizens. The school emphasizes developing strong character, love of truth,
respect, loyalty, justice, honesty, and hard work, along with social and environmental consciousness. This holistic
approach aims to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and values to contribute positively to society.
Venerable Mary Ward, an English Catholic religious woman, founded the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), also
known as the Loreto Sisters. Her conviction that "Women in time to come will do much" guided the congregation's
mission to educate and empower women. The Loreto Sisters arrived in India in 1841, establishing Loreto Convent
Intermediate College in Lucknow in 1872.
The school's educational philosophy centres on imparting a value-based education that nurtures the "heart, mind,
body, and soul". This includes fostering a strong sense of character, promoting truth, respect, loyalty, justice,
honesty, and hard work. Furthermore, the school cultivates social and environmental consciousness, encouraging
students to support marginalized communities and advocate for responsible use of natural resources.
Loreto Convent Intermediate College Lucknow is a testament to Mary Ward's vision and the shared commitment of
the Loreto Sisters, teachers, staff, students, parents, and friends. The school strives to instil Mary Ward's
core values of freedom, sincerity, justice, and felicity, preparing students to be responsible global citizens
who contribute to a better tomorrow.
