About the School

“Anterior to life stands service, posterior to death stands love, initial of creation and end of destruction, all lives lay in the foundation of love.”

The first act in the history of Nirmala Convent School was played out in far away Valencia, Spain, when the newly appointed Bishop of Ahmedabad, Rev. Monsignor Edwin Pinto, on a visit to his alma mater, persuaded the Bishop of Valencia to send some Spanish nuns to work in Rajkot. It was the involvement of the sisters of the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of Christ Jesus including Sr. Maria Theresa Unzu in the educational field in Rajkot that paved the way for the establishment of Nirmala Convent School, on 14th June 1963.

The school opened with classes from Nursery to standard III at Koyna House and had around 170 girls. The school laid down its permanent roots at Kalawad Road in 1970 and the first batch of students appeared for the SSC examinations in both English and Gujarati mediums in the year 1971. The ownership and management of the school was handed over by the Sisters of Christ Jesus to the Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit on 1st April, 1985. Sr. Rita took over the charge as the Principal of the school.

At present, Nirmala proudly takes the responsibility of providing quality education to more than 3450 girls. Nirmala Convent School has embarked on a remarkable journey through the years, navigating challenges in the field of education and remaining resilient during testing times. The school has played a pivotal role in transforming societal mindsets by empowering individuals to demonstrate their strength and determination, proving they are capable of standing equal to any in society.
