PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

In the dynamic landscape of education, St. John’s College of Arts and Science, Ammandivilai, emerges as a flagship academic centre of higher learning with the mission of imparting quality education to all regardless of religion, caste and sexual orientations with a preferential option for the coastal and other marginalized communities. Ever since its establishment in 2009 on the Arabian coast of Kanyakumari District, this institution has been providing conducive and intellectually challenging environment for our students imbued with high ethical values so as to develop their full potential and achieve success in both their personal and professional lives. Here at St. John’s, our strength is our team work. As educators, administrators, and support staff, we have a shared commitment to our institution’s mission of empowering the students to become innovative thinkers through excellence in teaching, learning, research and extension activities.

Focussing on our vision of training the youth to be global leaders of the future, this institution of higher learning, accredited by NAAC, marches forward providing global standards of education in our state-of-the -art amenities with seven UG and four PG Programmes in Arts, Science and Commerce and two Doctoral Programmes in English and Commerce. More PG and Doctoral Programmes are on the anvil.

We promote holistic development of our students by encouraging both curricular and co- curricular activities. Sports, games and cultural activities are vital components of St. John’s attempts to help students foster their personalities through improved classroom experiences. Our students are also provided with ample opportunities for out-of-classroom experiences through internships, research opportunities, exchange programmes, and cultural events to hone their talents and aptitudes. Thus, in this vibrant and healthy learning environment at St. John’s, our students develop not only academic proficiency but also the crucial life skills needed for success.

As we read in the Gospel according to St. John, our patron saint,
“In him was life, and the life was the light of all people”.
Trusting in this DIVINE LIGHT
we move forward daring to dream big
with an unwavering commitment to make it true despite challenges.
As agents of this DIVINE LIGHT
we dare to spread the spirit of Life and Light envisioning a better future for all.
