St Aloysius College belongs to a network of educational institutions administered by the members of the Society of Jesus, a religious order which runs schools, colleges and universities in more than 105 countries in the world.
In 1880, nine Jesuits landed in Mangalore at the request made by Mangaloreans to start an institution of quality higher education. St Aloysius College prides itself in its history of 139 years with the motto, “Lucet et Ardet” which means “shine to enkindle”.
The College has inspired countless students to become men and women for and with others thus bring light and joy into their lives. It is for this reason that Jesuit education has become a touchstone for evolving new paradigms in higher education.
Despite its status as a minority institution, the college has imparted high quality education to all sections of society regardless of caste, color or creed.
