is run by the Franciscan Sisters of St. Mary of the Angels (F.S.M.A), a religious congregation dates back to 8 July 1964. Three young enthusiastic and zealous pioneers arrived at Ujjain to open an English Medium School in response to the demand of the local population and Mr. Tickoo, the then Collector of Ujjain. The school started officially functioning in August 1964 in a rented building at Freeganj with about 150 students on the roll. In the year 1966, the school was shifted to its present building. In the 51 years of its operation, thousands of students have joyously spent their best years here. Today, it has more than 2000 students enrolled.
