Loreto College

Loreto College, founded in 1912, continues to serve young girls who pursue higher education under its mantle. Living the vision of its Founder, Mary Ward, for whom empowerment of young women through value-based holistic education ignited hearts and minds to proclaim the glory of God, the College strives to pass on this torch to its students.

A courageous pioneer and a revolutionary in the education of women, and deeply rooted in the love of her Master, Mary Ward desired to prepare women in her institutions to sharpen their engagement with the world by serving others, especially those on the fringes of society. Following in her footsteps, the College has endeavored to keep pace with rapid social and academic changes congruous with the times.

A Liberal Arts college, Loreto College offers B.A./B.Sc. Honours and General courses, a Masters course in English and a B.Ed. course; dreams of sound academic expansion go hand in hand with making the campus more aesthetic and eco-friendly, providing scope to students to pursue undergraduate research while developing their talents as they prepare to take their place in society.

It is hoped that the young women graduating from the College will persevere to grow as reflective practitioners, adept in juggling commitments with inner freedom and sincerity, upholding justice and truth, in response to the quiet still voice in their hearts.
