Message from the Secretary

Welcome to the official website of Mysore Diocesan Educational Society (MDES), a unified network of 153 schools and colleges dedicated to redefining the future of education. At MDES, we believe that education is a process of excavation of the possibilities in a person for the betterment of the society. Guide...d by our motto – To Know, To Love, To Serve - we take pride in shaping the leaders of tomorrow through a transformative and values-driven approach to learning.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, education must adapt to the pace of scientific, technological and cultural advancements. At MDES, we are committed to uncovering the latent potential in every student, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate a dynamic landscape, the love to foster empathy and inclusivity, and the readiness to serve society with integrity and purpose. We strive to create environments where critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability are nurtured - qualities essential for thriving in the 21st century.

Aligned with global trends, our institutions embrace transformative educational approaches. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, we offer innovative methods tailored to diverse learning needs. These tools empower students to harness technology responsibly and effectively. At the same time, we prioritize scientific inquiry and research, cultivating a culture of exploration and discovery. Through diverse collaborations and initiatives, our students gain exposure to the interconnectedness of our society and the broader world.

Beyond academics, our vision extends to the holistic development of every student. True to our belief in the power of education to excavate inner possibilities, we emphasize values-driven education that prepares students to love and serve others while contributing meaningfully to society. Co-curricular and extracurricular activities are vital in helping students explore their passions, refine their skills and build a well-rounded perspective on life.

Since our inception, we have remained committed to creating inclusive and innovative learning environments. Across the urban and rural landscapes of the four southern districts of Karnataka - Mandya, Mysore, Chamarajanagar and Kodagu - our institutions provide quality education to diverse communities, supported by dedicated educators and a robust curriculum. We aim to nurture individuals who are not only intellectually competent but also socially responsible.

This website serves as a gateway to our vibrant community, reflecting our achievements, programs and initiatives. It underscores our commitment to collaboration among students, parents, educators and other stakeholders as we collectively work towards a brighter, more sustainable future.

On behalf of our leadership, I extend heartfelt gratitude to all who support our mission. Together, let us continue to inspire young minds to know deeply, love fully and serve selflessly, uncovering their true potential and building a better world for all.
