Loreto Convent

Loreto Convent School Entally was started in 1843 by the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary—founded by Mary Ward in the 17th century. Mary Ward had the sagacity to foresee that "Women in time to come will do much" and pioneered the movement for the education of women so that they could take their rightful place in society and constructively contribute towards it. Such a profound mission would have been incomplete without her. Loreto Convent faithfully perseveres along the path shown by this indomitable woman. The journey that began then continues today. Loreto grew up in and around Calcutta and continues to affect the lives of many girls, past and present. Loreto Entally was the first boarding school in Calcutta for orphans. While the school, in the true spirit of Mary Ward, has grown and expanded to include girls from various socio-economic and religious backgrounds, its main thrust towards the poor continues to be its primary aim.

Loreto Convent It is often referred to as the 'Loreto with the heart', and it is truly a befitting title. It is here that young girls develop to their full potential without facing any obstacles based on caste, color, or social status. We are cradled in a world of nature with lush green fields, bright flowery gardens, traditional structures with a touch of modernity, and an ocean of opportunities. According to our founder, Mary Ward, "the key to happiness is having a dream; the key to success is making dreams come true." As the principal of this esteemed institution, I urge all my students to get admission to this institute and imagine with their entire minds, believe with all their hearts, and achieve with all their might.
