S.F.S.HSc School, Janathapuram had a humble beginning on 5 July 1995. It was Fr. A. Dharmaraj, the then parish priest of Mary Help of Christians´ church, who took the initiative to buy 5 acres of land in Janathapuram, Vaniyambadi. In the beginning, our Fathers managed the Kindergarten in the church premises itself. Seeing the hard work of the management and staff, and the need of the place, the Province of Visakhapatnam granted permission on 6 July 1997 to construct the new school building. Initially the fathers were residing in Vaniyambadipresbytery. Later on they decided to build a residence in the school campus and it was built in 2005 by Fr.K.Ignaci Muthu. The dedicated service of our school management encouraged many to join our school from far and wide. Today, because of the well qualified, dedicated management and staff, the strength has increased to almost 2000.
This increase of strength compelled the management to build a new wing. On 15 August 2010, the newly built Mermier block was inaugurated and blessed. Fr. F. Emmanuel was the principal then. Now we have 56 class rooms with a laboratory and a library. Our sprawling playground attracts all those who step in our school premises. The management had plunged into the new venture of starting smart class to all our children from December 2011. The parents and students are very appreciative of this new venture.
Vision Statement
SFS School, Janathapuram, has a non-Christian ambience surrounding it. Christian presence is neither felt nor acknowledged. Having been placed in the midst of such a social set-up, our VISION is to make the Christian presence real and tangible through our imparting of an integrated, qualitative, service oriented and Fransalian education, whereby, we become catalyst of change of social awareness and consciousness.
Mission Statement
To transform this vision into a living reality, our mission is first of all, to make ourselves beacons of Christ’s light by our conduct and being, and then going further, to embark upon the task of rendering selfless and dedicated service in the school environment, guiding the teachers in their work and making the children participate in this transformation process. To facilitate this being and becoming, we familiarize both of them with Christian values, the teachings of St. Francis de Sales, our patron and Fr. Peter Mary Mermier our founder.
