St. Mary's Convent

What St. Mary's Convent does

St. Mary's Convent Inter College Prayagraj is a private, nonprofit Catholic K-12 institution founded on 15 January 1866 in what is now Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, and operated by the Sisters of the Congregation of Jesus (CJ) under the religious jurisdiction of the Catholic Bishop of Allahabad and the protections of Articles 29 and 30 of the Indian Constitution. The school delivers ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) preparation across the Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams, with admissions generally open across Classes 1-9 and selective entry at Class XI. Heritage is a central operating asset: the institution operates from a heritage red-brick building constructed between 1886 and 1888 at 32 Thornhill Road (Maharishi Dayanand Road) within St. Joseph's Cathedral grounds, and traces its educational philosophy to Mary Ward's founding of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1609.

The school's product surface is a service-based education offering with supporting digital infrastructure. Core academic products are ICSE and ISC examination preparation; supporting products include the e-Care Panel (parent/student/teacher portal), the e-Care Pro school mobile application distributed via Google Play and the Apple App Store under school code SMCPRJ, an integrated Online Fee Payment system routed through PayU Money and the e-Care app, a Virtual Tour of the campus, and Transportation Services. The digital stack is largely provided through a third-party Franciscan e-Care platform rather than developed in-house. The institution also operates Ashadeep School, a wholly owned Hindi-medium school established on 30 January 2001 in the primary building of the main campus, serving approximately 200 underprivileged children.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring tuition fees billed quarterly or annually for Classes 1-12, with payment options including NEFT to a Virtual Account Number, the e-Care app, and POS at South Indian Bank (debit card only; IMPS and direct bank transfers not accepted). The published late-payment penalty is Rs. 600 per quarter, and withdrawals require one month's notice or fee in lieu, with April withdrawals triggering April-June fee liability. Customer segments are explicitly hybrid: Catholic children as the primary target, all sections of society regardless of caste, creed, or financial status as a stated open-access segment, and underprivileged children served through Ashadeep. Student enrollment capacity, fee schedule amounts, and financial figures are not publicly disclosed; the firmographic record indicates approximately 194 personnel.
