The course of studies will extend from Kindergarten to Std. X and is oriented towards the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE). The medium of instruction is English. A high standard of English is necessary for success in the ICSE. However, Hindi and Oriya have a vital role in the curriculum and are taught daily in all standards. The intellectual formation in Loyola is liberal and universal yet rooted in Indian tradition as per suggestions made by the Indian Education Commissions. The Curriculum, therefore, embraces religious instruction (for Christians) and Value Education, English Literature, History, Geography, Civics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Socially Useful Productive Work (such as class cleaning) and Environmental Studies (EVS) in the lower classes. No language other than English is allowed within the campus. Regular attendance, alertness in class, performance of regular class work and revision are sufficient to make progress. Private tuition for our school children is not encouraged.
