St. Agnes' Loreto Day School, Lucknow

St. Agnes' Loreto Day School, located in Lucknow, is a Catholic institution managed by The Lucknow Loreto Educational Society. The school traces its origins back to the founding of Loreto Convent, Darjeeling in 1846. It was formally established in Lucknow on October 4, 1904, by its first Principal, Sister Claire Miller, in a rented building on Barrow Road, to serve the Anglo-Indian community. The school moved into its current distinctive building, designed by architect Labanti, after its blessing on November 23, 1913. The curriculum is delivered in English, with Hindi taught as a second language from Classes I to X, and Sanskrit as a compulsory third language from Classes V to VIII. Students are prepared for both the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) examinations. Beyond academics, the institution emphasizes character development and essential life skills through value-based education and religious instruction for Catholic students. Co-curricular activities are central to the school's program, fostering interpersonal skills, confidence, and leadership among students. These activities include debates, elocution, various arts and crafts, general knowledge quizzes, singing, dancing, physical training, and needlework. Students are divided into four houses—Charity (Red), Joy (Blue), Peace (Yellow), and Hope (Green)—which organize activities and promote democratic participation. Additional sporting opportunities are available on Sundays and holidays, featuring basketball, volleyball, football, Kho Kho, table tennis, and badminton. The school also offers facilities like a library and hosts numerous events throughout the year, celebrating achievements and encouraging student participation in various school and inter-school competitions.

For admission to Pre-Nursery sessions, prospective students can look for registration notices, typically for the following academic year. The school also provides information regarding the booklist and uniform requirements for upcoming academic sessions on its website.
