I have spent almost five years at this school.
It was just like a second home to me. With facilities like a swimming pool, basketball courts, football grounds, a multimedia, etc., we not only grew up to be pure men but also with a range of hobbies that we do. There are several competitions that are held on a regular basis, that keep renewing that spirit of enthusiasm and anxiety. There were outdoor games almost everyday, save the Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We had always learnt to live by each other’s weaknesses and strength.
Some of our favorite “hotspots” for the evening walks were Flaggy, Plummy, Lime Orchard, Tiger’s Path and Shalgaon. Overnight Camping was a must for the class tens, their final year. The overnight picnic was filled with fun. We had a food contest, an award for the well-maintained tent, etc. We had the tents set-up in no time and then became like stone-age early men, gathering fuel for the fire each group had to start. There were five groups in total, staying in tents.
Those were the days of fun, living together, sharing experiences, consoling each other and being at each other’s side. The special part of St. Mary’s is that the students have a unique attachment to the school. Year after year, some batches have the reunion on the October Parents’ Week. This makes St. Mary’s very, very, special. Br. Kevin remarked, “I have been to many other Christian Brother’s Schools and Colleges, but among all of them, St. Mary’s is the most special. The ex-students have a special attachment to this School”.
At the end of all this, some weep while others rejoice. Some sob because they had more to do with this school than the others. The others rejoice because they now have a chance to face the world.

St. Mary’s, Mt. Abu is indeed a very nice boarding school. There are many activities from time to time. Regular tests are a feature. The students there are trained to live basically on their own. The present principal, Miss Mary Joseph, has had an experience of teaching in Abu for over twenty-five years. She caters their needs in a very pleasant manner(as of what I have heard). Life there is like none elsewhere. Together with academics, the boys are also given the chance to excel in sport.
I would rather suggest you to admit your son/ward to this boarding school.
I studied at st mary’s from 1968 till 1973 and am indebted to the school for giving me a superb foundation.I fondly remember Brother Keane,Brother Kelly,Mrs Khambatta,Mr Goyal,Mr Edwin,Brother Lynch.Fantastic school!!!!!!!!!!!! deepak gopalkrishan
I am from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I would like to have my son’s admission in St Mary’s Boarding School for 7th Standard for the academic year June 2010 and wish him to be continued at least up to his 12th standard. Kindly provide me the details for his admission. I also would like to know whether this school is under CBSE/ ICSE.
It is an ICSE, Delhi board affiliated school, and it’s only up till the 10th standard.
Regarding his admission, contact the school

St. Mary’s High School is not a co-ed school, its only for boys, and the classes start from the fourth grade. There is another school close, Sophia High School, which is in the local town, and is governed by the Catholic nuns. Its a girls only school.
can i have st marys mount abu’s current working number… ????
Surely, (+91) 9462287025, it’s a direct number to the present principal of the school.
I like to inquire about your boarding school for daughter. We live abroad. Please reply.
I *don’t* run the school, its governed by the Christian Brothers.
