Winning Category & Rank: North 24 Parganas: Top Schools (CISCE Board): Rank 2In a span of 10 years, St Xavier’s Institution, Ruiya, has built a reputation for combining academic excellence with a learning environment that encourages curiosity, compassion, and learning. Nestled amid verdant surroundings along the Kalyani Express Highway, the school offers a nurturing environment supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a water treatment plant and modern learning facilities. It follows a thoughtfully-designed curriculum for students from toddlers to Class XII, encouraging them to think, question, and learn every day. Here, nature tutors them and nurtures their all-round development. The school’s consistently-strong ICSE and ISC board results reflect its commitment to nurturing confident, well-rounded learners.

Excerpts from an interview with DYUTIMAN BANDHOPADHYAY, Secretary...
“This recognition boosts our spirit and escalates the zeal to persevere to the best of our capabilities. It also reflects team spirit and our teachers’ commitment to the holistic development of our learners.
“We inculcate empathy for society in our students and foster a strong bond between nature and learning. The other thing our school does differently is provide all necessary medical aid to students in the event of a medical emergency.
“I believe our students would describe our school as ‘empowering’.
“We aspire to continue establishing our students at the highest level in every sphere. Our goal is also to continue to be at the helm in AI rankings.
“This award belongs to Team SXI, Ruiya. The entire community is responsible for this recognition and strives to put forth its very best. The resilience of our community and the trust we share are what make us worthy of this award.”
