St. Germain High School
St. Germain High School is an unaided private institution in Bangalore, India, established in January 1944. The school began in the former Clergy and Archbishop's House, which had housed St. Joseph's Boys' High School before it moved to its present location in Richmond Town. The school was named after a French priest, Rev. Fr. Saint Germain.
The school is managed by the Archdiocesan Board of Education, under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of Bangalore. The school is recognized by the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE) Delhi.
The school was founded in January 1944 by the then archbishop of Bangalore, Rt. Rev. Thomas Pothacamury D.D., in memory of Rev. Fr. Saint Germain, a beloved French priest, who until his retirement worked as a teacher and procurator at the local St. Joseph's School and College. These were housed in the present school building (main) until they were moved to their current location at Museum Road in Richmond Town.
The school is situated on top of St. John's Hill with Coles Park on one side and St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral on the other. The main entrance to the school used to be on St. John's Church Road and provided direct entry to the playground. The gate was closed and the main entrance re-located in 1976 to Promenade Road so that the playground could provide unfettered access for play and recreation.
St. Germain High School had a Latin motto, Ad Augusta, Per Angusta. During the tenure of Rev. Fr, Mervyn Coelho, the English translation was employed, Triumph Through Trials .
The school is managed by the Archdiocesan Board of Education. It is the only Anglo-Indian school maintained by the board.
The school is affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi. Until 1961 the students were prepared for the Bangalore European Secondary School Examination (Std XI) and the Cambridge Overseas Examination. From 1962 to 1969, the state government conducted the Anglo-Indian secondary School Certificate (A.I.S.S.C.) Examination (Std XI). With the change over to the present 10+2+3 Course of States, the I.C.S.E. (Std X) is conducted at the end of Std X. From 1977 to 1990 the school also presented students to the local Std X (SSLC) Examination.
The school always has over 90% passes in the Public Exam, with 100% passes in many years, with the first rank occasionally.[citation needed]
