Loreto Day School Elliot Road is often considered to be a 'School with a Heart'. Here, the cosmopolitan structure of the School coupled with an encompassing social structure of society gives a 'real window' to the values that Loreto stands for. Social, cultural, religious and ethnic bonding with its true meaning is found here. The perfect mixture of conservativeness with modernity is the basis of our success. Humility and humbleness are the cornerstones of our school - be it our efficient office staff, our ever willing support staff or our mainstay - our very own teaching faculty headed by the Principal.

The Loreto Eliot Road , believe in empowering and recognizing the individuality of each child by achieving a fusion of social, cultural, religious and ethnic bonding, to make it a “School with a Heart.”
