Don Bosco High School & Junior College - Borivali West

Don Bosco High School, a minority institute, owned and run by the Salesian Society, has bee recognised right from the outset but gets no grant-in-aid from the government.

In the year 1970 the Salesian Fathers started an apostolic school under the St. Paul's High School with just 3 classes - Std. IX, X, XI named after the great missionary St. Paul. The Fathers saw the growing demand for a school for the children of the area as the exodus from the south was just beginning. So in 1971 the Fathers managed to obtain from the department permission to open Standards VIII and IX.

The school expanded and the divisions doubled themselves in each class in course of time. Today the school has achieved remarkable standard in all areas. The school has an impressive Computer Division, a Science Club training students for various prestigious science exams and exhibitions. It can boast of fielding good teams in football, hockey and cricket which have brought laurels to the school.

The school that began its life with 13 boys in Standards VIII and 30 in IX is proud today to have well-nigh 1800 boys on its records in 3 sections - Pre-Primary, Primary and Secondary. The system of education based on Don Bosco's Principles - Reason, Religion and Kindness - became well-known to all those who came in contact with the school.

With the noble motto "Virtus in Arduis", Virtue conquers hardships the Fathers, Brothers and the members of the staff have toiled for its growth with single-minded commitment; as a result the school has grown to its present dimension and risen to prominence in the eyes of the people and Education department. The school inspections which have taken place have brought commendable reports to the credit of the staff and management.

After a years process, in June 2013 Don Bosco High School Borivli, after obtaining the necessary permissions from the department, proudly and in keeping with our heritage started the Don Bosco Junior College of Arts, Science and Commerce. That same year, the school also went co-Ed fulfilling the long standing request of parents and the necessity of bringing Don Bosco's holistic educational process to our girls as well.

The pioneer efforts made during the initial years have borne rich fruits during these 40 years. The school has kept up with changing times and responded to the needs of students. Today the school commands respect from all for its standard of education, Discipline and sports.
