The Patrician Brothers' School, Mount St. Mary's School, in Delhi Cantt opened in January 1963 and is run by the Society of St Patrick.

The Brothers consider the formation of character the first essential of any sound educational system, and so great stress is laid on the inculcation of high ideals, gentlemanly behaviour and moral rectitude. Religious instruction is imparted to Catholic pupils only.

All other pupils are given a comprehensive course in Value Education. In teaching the Humanities and the Sciences, the aim is a sound practical knowledge based on the latest techniques and the requirements of the syllabus of the All India Secondary School Certificate Examination (+2). Games and physical training have an appropriate place in the time-table.

[edit] Mission Statement

We the Brothers of St. Patrick (Patrician Brothers) inspired by the life of Jesus Christ, rise to proclaim his option for the poor. We hold all of creation to be holy and worthy of reverence. Its song of praise is spoiled only by sin. We dedicate ourselves to restore right relationships to our world by compassion and action for justice.

Like Daniel Delany (Founder of the Brothers of St. Patrick), we refuse to separate our faith from life. Through life - giving Brotherhood and prayer, we strive for a union of hearts and minds, which will transform us and lead us to witness and service. We set ourselves firmly against whatever may cause injustice. We tend to marginalise and in so doing, glorify our Creator - God.

We resolve to carry forward the enduring education initiatives of our forebears and the newer ministries of our Apostle, but we will test them all, for their benefit to the poor and for the sake of justice, Wherever we are, we will promote wholeness, welcome and self-worth.

As the future unfolds, our hope remains secure. Because our call is for service, we are ready to venture, risk, even fail, that some good might take hold, that some hope might be shared and that poor might have their voices heard.
