Education with Character: Igniting Minds, Illuminating Society
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "The function of education is not only to teach one to think intensively and critically but to shape individuals with intelligence and character."
At St. Anthony’s Academy Tech School (CBSE), founded in 2025 by the Society of Friars Minor, we uphold this vision—an education that nurtures intellect, character, and service to humanity.
Rooted in the Franciscan tradition, our mission is to develop individuals who:
- Think critically, act responsibly, and lead with integrity.
- Excel in academics and competitive exams, preparing for rewarding careers.
- Embrace diversity, foster collaboration, and advocate for peace.
- Adapt to the evolving world with confidence, innovation, and ethical values.

Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s belief that "Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world," we cultivate a transformative learning environment where students are encouraged to:
- Pursue knowledge and career aspirations.
- Become catalysts for positive change.
The heart of our institution is our dedicated faculty, who go beyond textbooks to ignite curiosity, instil moral values, and shape lifelong learners. Together, we create a thriving community where knowledge, virtue, and service are at the core of every student's journey.
I warmly invite students and parents to join us in this exciting educational journey. Let us build a generation that leads with wisdom, compassion, and integrity—equipped for success in both their careers and personal lives.
With blessings and best wishes,
Fr. Xavier Durairaj
