“At SXBA, we strive to be an institute where learning is enjoyable, resulting in all-round excellence and commitment to social justice."
— PREEMA NORONHA, principal

HISTORY: In the mid-1950s, Father Sologran, a Jesuit priest, convinced the local police to relocate a proposed police station at Marine Lines. In 1957, a school and college were established there.

UNIQUE FEATURES: Education is modelled on the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, which is rooted in selfreflection as the basis of schooling. The school has a four-day exchange programme with a tribal school in Nashik for Class 9 students.
