About the School

Inspired by the vision and directions of the Founder St. Louis Mary De Montfort, the Brothers of St. Gabriel opened this Institution named MONTFORT SCHOOL, at New Haridwar Road, ROORKEE on 25th July 1994 with a group of 102 students from classes UKG to IV with Bro. Mani V.J. as its first Principal and Mrs. P. Chandra as Head Mistress. It is situated on the main Highway from Roorkee to the holy cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh, 7 K.M. from internationally famous I.I.T of Roorkee. It is a school set in the garden and natural surroundings with 11 acres of land.

The Brothers of St. Gabriel were already in Roorkee before starting Montfort School. They were having a school in the cantonment area named St. Gabriel’s Academy. Seeing the need and the request and demand from the public, Brothers started this new school 7 km away from the existing one. Since it is away from the town and almost all the students are from the town, Montfort school plies buses for the students. Montfort School is an unaided Christian Minority school, recognized by the C.B.S.E. and the medium of instruction is English. Boys and Girls are admitted. Though it is a minority school for Christian (Catholic) children, admission is open to all. Normally, admission is done only in L.K.G. classes. Those seeking admission to L.K.G. should be within the age group of 3 ½ to 4 ½ years on April 1st of the year of admission. The age requirement of other classes will be on the basis of the above.

In 2001 the Seva Missionary Sisters of Mary congregation joined the Brothers in the school ascollaborators. July 25, 1994 a red-letter day in the history of Montfortians.

On this day, the school was ready to venture with 8 classrooms and two toilets in three wings. With the arrival of the first batch of 42 children in a specially decorated bus and the ringing of bells at 8.30 am- a new institution ushered in-to carry the torch of love, freedom, and integrity on the path of education. One more member of the Prestigious Society of the Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel was born. It was a new experience for almost everyone present there- to be a part of an Institution on its opening day. The then Provincial Superior Bro. Philip Thadathil, Manager Late Bro. Thomas Madapalli and the Principal Bro. Mani V.J welcomed the staff and students with the message to make Montfort School a home away from home for the students, teaching young minds to compete with themselves to be always on the search to discover, to explore and to strive on.

Our Vision
Apart from the vision of Christian schools, Montfortian education, in particular, aims to prepare the student for a life that is worth living. As individuals and members of the society the students need to be helped to develop qualities of the mind and heart as well as basic skills and attitudes. To achieve this the Montfortian education system is designed as person-oriented, social or the other oriented, professional or work oriented, national or citizen oriented and universal brotherhood and international understanding oriented. Montfortian education envisions working for the total development of the young. They are helped to discover their God-given potentials and work towards their fullest development in order to place them at the service of the society. It seeks to enable the young to search for the truth by training them to analyze reality, form critical judgments, search for solutions and work out a synthesis. It is concerned with forming a moral conscience that is capable of discerning what is good and choosing it. It pays attention to the development of the capacity to engage in relationships marked by sincerity and self- determination and training to understand the complex political reality and to enter it in a constructive way. It imparts an appreciation of the Indian heritage and enables the students to imbibe its culture and ethos for building a harmonious society, irrespective of differences of faith, language, caste and class and at the same time to remain open to the positive elements of other cultures.
