St.Joseph of Cluny Girls Higher Secondary School,Pondicherry

St. Joseph of Cluny Hr. Sec. School is a catholic Institution, meant primarily for Catholics but open to students of other faiths, with special preference to the poor, and established by the congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny which has its headquarters at Pondicherry.

Blessed ANNE MARIE JAVOUHEY (1779 - 1851) urged by the desire to seek, find and accomplish the will of God, founded the congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, in Cluny (France), under the patronage of St. Joseph

In 1826, the first three Cluny sisters came to Pondicherry. They were followed three years later by Mother Rosalie Javouhey, Anne Marie's youngest Sister. In accordance with the spirit of the Foundress, they launched out into social, medical and educational fields. To impart sound moral, spiritual, human and social values to the students of life, and to prepare them for their respective roles in society, schools were established.

St. Joseph of Cluny Matriculation School was started in 1946. It became a Higher Secondary School in 1979.
