WHY CHOOSE SFS, ETTUMANOOR?
About UsA recurring question that perplexed the people of Ettumanoor around the turn of this millennium was: Why choose SFS Public School as against the other educational institutions in the vicinity of the town? Was there anything that particularly stood out among all such schools, to zero in on SFS? People in those days had little idea about the SFS brand of education that made it stand apart.
A few hundred parents in 2003 admitted their wards in the newly fledgling school and kept a close watch on their performance and progress as the years rolled by. The students absorbed their lessons with a passion for learning as their teachers kept instilling not only academic subjects but several other co-curricular programs which proved invaluable when they made their way out at the end of their schooling here. Imperceptibly they had become branded with the Desalite characteristic that sets our SFS students apart from the crowd.

THE SCHOOL’S HEAVENLY PATRON
“You can catch more flies With a spoonful of honey Than with a barrel of vinegar.”
This school is dedicated to its heavenly patron St Francis de Sales (1567-1622). He was born on 21 August 1567 into a senatorial family in France where he was destined to work in government positions of authority. Instead, he felt called to become a priest in the Catholic Church. Within a few years of priestly ordination, Francis de Sales became the Bishop of Geneva, and became noted for his deep faith and his gentle approach to the Protestant Reformation at that time.
Through his missionary efforts, he won back hundreds of Protestant Christians to the Catholic fold. He authored two well-known theological classics: Introduction to the Devout Life and Treatise on the Love of God. As a Doctor of the Church, Francis de Sales is famous for his teachings on the Catholic doctrine. He is also known as the Gentleman Saint. He died on 28 December 1622, aged 55 years. He was canonized as a Saint in 1665.

Principal's Message
SFS Public School & Junior CollegeDear Staff, Students, and Parents,
I am delighted to address you all as the Principal of SFS Public School & Junior College, Ettumanoor. Our institution stands as a testament to the charisma of SFS education, which has flourished for over two centuries on the Indian subcontinent. The MSFS Fathers have tirelessly dedicated themselves to education as missionary apostolate, aiming to uplift the living standards of ordinary people. With more than 150 educational institutions established across India, their impact has reached every nook and corner of our nation.
SFS Public School & Junior College holds a special place in the heart of the Congregation, particularly in central Kerala where the SFS brand was absent until the turn of the last century. Enrolling a child at SFS automatically imparts the Desalite charism, a distinct quality that remains with them even long after they leave our institution. Fransalian optimism and humanism define our students, who stand out wherever they go.
At the core of this optimism lies an unwavering faith in the providence of God, which guides us through troubled times. It serves as the rudder that keeps our SFS vessel steady, never faltering. We take immense care of each and every student, for individual attention is the hallmark of education at SFS. Our school serves as a second home for both students and teachers, fostering an environment where love prevails. Love, as Fr. Peter Marie Mermier, the MSFS Founder, advocated, is the heart of education, and we believe in nurturing the emotional quotient as much as the intelligence quotient.
St. Francis de Sales, the heavenly patron of our school, embraced the motto “Everything out of love, nothing out of compulsion.” We understand that love conquers, while compulsion deters. Together, let us create an ambiance of love where our students can flourish and prosper.
With warm regards,
Dr. Fr. Roy P K, Principal
