Education, Care and Discipline

The School for the Needy :

The Montfort Society of St. Gabriel was instituted around 1930. The All Saints High School, taken over by the Society in 1932, completed its centenary in 1955. As part of the All Saints centenary events, our illustrious predessors decided to start an orphanage to help destitute children who were ill-accommodated in schools for privileged children. Thus was Boys Town born.

Thus was Boys Town born.

Some informal teaching followed. Once the good news spread, families in the neighbourhood flocked with their children. The school was regularized and recognized by 1958. It has, since then, grown into a high school.

Today, the Montfort Society runs several schools through out the State and has a fraternity of seventy-eight Brothers dedicated to education and service to the needy. The education Boys Town high school offers and the salaries it pays teachers match those of its better endowed sister institutions like All Saints, Little Flower and St. Paul’s, yet its fee is but a fraction of theirs. A large number of freeships ensure that our services are not beyond those who need it most. The Brothers who work in Boys Town are partial to the children in the school and dote on the orphans showering them with love and care.
