St. John’s English School and Junior College, founded in 1969 by Rt. Rev. Dr. G. Rajakumar and Mrs. Sakunthala Rajakumar in Mandaveli began with just 47 students under a thatched roof
The couple dedicated their lives to providing quality education for all guided by God and their belief that “Prayer brings victory
Discipline is their top priority as they established multiple institutions across Chennai, fostering a sense of family within the school community, and making it a “second home” for all Johnians
Today, under Senior Principal Mrs. Anitha Edison, the institution focuses on preparing students for a tech-driven future by integrating technology into the curriculum and fostering critical thinking. With a commitment to holistic development, St. John’s aims to cultivate adaptable, mindful citizens ready to face modern challenges
