Loyola School, Jamshedpur is a privateCatholic primary and secondary school located in the Beldih Triangle of Jamshedpur, in the state of Jharkhand, India. Founded in 1947 by Jesuit missionaries from Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States, the school provides students with an education from kindergarten (KG) to 12th grade.
The school was a boys' only school with the exception of girls studying only in standards 11 and 12, and in 2001 it became co-educational from K-12.
The school consistently ranks as one of the best schools in India.[1][2][3] In a 2021 survey conducted as part of the annual Education World India School Rankings (EWISR) by education newsmagazine, Education World India, Loyola School, Jamshedpur was ranked among the country’s top 100 schools. In the top 100 list, Loyola scored 87th rank.[4]
The "chakra" or wheel on the left-hand corner is found in the center of India's Tri-colour and stands for progress. The symbol on the right is the logo of the Society of Jesus - which gives the universal trait of the Jesuits - being all things to all people. The symbol in the bottom left corner is a ladle from Tata Steel's blast furnace in Jamshedpur and signifies that the school is located in India's Steel City. The symbol in the right-hand corner of two wolves drinking out of a cauldron is taken from the coat of arms to be found in the Castle of Loyola, Spain, the birthplace of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Society. The Latin motto "In Caritat et Justitia" appearing on the ribbon underlining the base of the crest translates to "In charity and justice". The universal motto of the Society of Jesus is "Ad Majorem dei Glorium" meaning "For the greater glory of God".
In 2017 Loyola witnessed 'Azionare', a two-day fest as a joint effort of the Debating Club, Computer Club, GK Club, Physics, and Chemistry Club, Art & Craft club, Astronomy club, Entrepreneurship club & Entertainment club. More than 500 students from 17 schools of the city participated. The event saw a number of new subevents in the on stage as well as the offstage category.
