Spread over acres, St. Patrick’s High School (ICSE) is situated on the banks of the Adyar River under the lush green canopy of trees at close proximity to the Kotturpuram MRTC Railway Station on one side and the Adyar Bus Terminus on the other.
St. Patrick’s Nursery and Primary School that formally functioned under St. Patrick’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School has now been expanded into St. Patrick’s High School (ICSE) from the year 2009 through public request and is run on a separate campus. The school is co-educational and is affiliated to the ICSE Board. Its medium of instruction is English.
At the time of its formation, the school was housed in a single two-storey building with 250 students on roll. Substantial development has taken place every year and today the school boasts of an excellent infrastructure and facility to impart exemplary education to 1000 students every day. We currently run classes from KG to Class X.

Ever since its inception, the school strives to fulfill the vision of its founder, to give its students a holistic and value based education, the values of which will stay on and influence everyone who passes out through this institution.
The mission and purpose of the school has also remained steadfast since its inception, and over time has developed a child-centred curriculum from Kindergarten to Class ten. The organization and content of the curriculum are planned with the emphasis on individual learning.
