Good Shepherd International School, Ooty Information

The Good Shepherd International School was founded by the late Dr. P.C. Thomas and Mrs. Elsamma Thomas in the year 1977. Originally known as the Good Shepherd Public School, it became an International School of the highest calibre of learning in the year 1995. Dr. P.C. Thomas and his wife Elsamma Thomas both started their careers as teachers themselves, which fostered their vision and goal to create the best educational institution in which a child can learn and grow. The motto of the school is “Truth, Trust and Triumph” and students are encouraged to practice secular and ethical values in an atmosphere where every creed and faith co-exists in harmony. The students are educated in a way that helps them flourish in an environment without inhibition and prejudice in any form. Dr. P.C. Thomas always believed that education is a continuous process by which a generation is prepared for the future by being provided with as many opportunities as possible to develop every aspect of their personality. With that in mind, the school is continuously evolving and today offers the students a variety of academic and extra-curricular activities that ensures the holistic development of the child without distractions in order to pursue and realize their goals. Every student receives individual and personalized attention and the maximum comforts possible. It is our endeavor to make education a purposeful, meaningful and enjoyable experience.
