Our history: A Legacy of Empowerment (1862 - Present)

The foundation of Immaculate School is a testament to the pioneering spirit of its founder, Rev. Fr. Louis Savenien Dupuis MEP. The seed of this institution was cultivated in 1862 in a small hut, driven by a powerful mission: to redeem girls from the "clutches of superstitious practices and ignorance" prevalent in society at the time. Rev. Fr. Dupuis, whose indelible foot-prints were left on Indian soil on February 9, 1832, dedicated the school to providing quality education to poor girls.
