Children at The St Thomas Mar Thoma School

Education, especially of girls, is often neglected among families from a poor socio-economic backgrounds. But hundreds of young girls have been enrolled in St Thomas Mar Thoma School in Kurar. These girls are excelling in their academic endeavours.

While sons sometimes make it into a class room, most don't complete schooling. But at St Thomas Mar Thoma School in Kurar, children are given every facility to concentrate on completing their education before joining the work force.

The over 700 children enrolled at St Thomas Mar Thoma School in Kurar have been excelling in both academics and extra curricular activities. This year our  100% of our 10th standard students passed their SSC exams.

St Thomas Mar Thoma School is located in one of the poorest neighbourhoods of Mumbai. Most homes are hand built and most parents are uneducated.

At St Thomas Mar Thoma School we understand that parents needs to be actively involved in their children's education. We have therefore started an adult education drive to educate the mothers.
