St. Paul Sr. Sec. School, Barmer is one of the many schools run by the Roman Catholic Diocesan Society of Ajmer, which comes under the Religious Minority Educational Institutes.
The school aims at training the students for academic excellence, high moral values in everyday life and cultural and physical development. This school is committed to inculcate in every student values of loyalty to the country, love for God and neighbour, respect for all religions and peoples, generosity to the poor and the needy and readiness to be at the service of all.
Equal importance is given to the study of both English and Hindi languages so that the child picks up the basic concepts in everyday life in a early stage and prepare himself/herself for higher education.

Intellectual Development
The Development of your mind, the gathering of information in the different subjects of your study, digesting this information and putting it into a practical framework will be the major part of your education here. Let your aim of study be not just to successfully reproduce in an examination what you have learnt, but to cultivate the art of thinking for yourself , of thinking analytically and critically and expressing yourself clearly.
Do not limit yourself to class material .Go deep into your subject by regular study and wide reading. Various competition and activities will help you in this.
Learning requires regular work. Have a time – table for your home study and follow it. The school has excellent library . Make good use of this particularly during your free hours. Your librarian and teachers will help you to select the right books if you approach them
Physical Development
“A sound mind rests in a sound body” goes the old adage. Towards the integral development of your personality it is essential that you give importance also to the development of your bodily powers through games and athletics and acquire skills for body tonality and endurance . The school has play grounds and good facilities. If you are judged good enough to don the school in any team consider it a happy privilege.
Spiritual Development
The School gives the highest importance to spiritual formation and character building. Ultimately a person is what his spiritual and moral values are, and the aspect of your education that you will carry with you all your life will be this one.
Your character is the sum total of your values which express themselves through your attitudes , dealing and relation with others, and the world around you, as also the way you face problems and challenges of life. The time in school is the period when you have to build up your value system honesty , justice , co-operation , fellowship and concern for other, belief in and a filial devotion to God and a universal love that embraces all people cutting across barriers of religion or caste or nationality .
As a help to this you have regular programme in value Education. Perhaps even more than this you will pick up your values from your companions and elders while you yourself by your life will be influencing the value system of others.
Essential to any spiritual and value formation is self-discipline , the systematic effort to channelize your impulses , emotions and feelings to their proper end and make them a power for good. Lack of discipline results in confusion and chaos, both internal and external , personal and social where no true education is possible. Thus the rules of discipline of the school will help you to cultivate interior self-discipline if you interiorise them in the right spirit.
The habit of regular prayer and meditation is earnestly recommended to all.
Co-curricular Activities
A good part of our education , the broadening of our horizons, inculcation of values , learning to relate to and to deal with others, exercise of participative leadership etc. takes place through co-curricular activities. The school provides rich opportunities in this regard and we have a dedicated staff who willingly give a lot of their time for the benefit of the students.
Social Concern
We are well aware that the crying need of our times is not only persons with a vision but also persons with a mission. With a genuine social consciousness and a heart for others.
We need people who are genuinely socially conscious who find meaning of life by being at the real service of others even at the cost to themselves , men and women for others.
Eco Friendly Campus

- Rain water harvesting : The campus building are designed to store and re-use the main water in the undergrounds tanks.
- Solar Energy: The use of solar energy has been promoted extensively in the campus to provide lighting and water heating facility.

Staff – Student Rapport
Our lives are shaped very much by the people with whom we constantly interact and here it will be you teachers. You have an excellent staff in this school , make good use of their experience and knowledge through constant personal contact both inside ad outside the classroom. Today more than ever, closer ties between staff and students is the only way to counteract the many problems arising from the impersonal atmosphere prevailing in much of our school education . This would of course mean that you are willing to be guided by your teachers
