Where roots meet radiant futures.
An English-medium, co-educational school from KG to Class XII, run by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary — shaping disciplined, confident and value-based learners for nearly six decades.
A school with deep values and a clear purpose
Fatima Matric Hr. Sec. School stands on the R.C. Church Compound in Vadalur, Cuddalore District. It began in 1966 as Infant Jesus Nursery School and has grown step by step into a full higher secondary school offering Science and Commerce streams.
The school is managed by the FIHM Sisters, a congregation founded in Pondicherry in 1844 to educate and uplift women. That mission still guides our classrooms today: learning joined with discipline, compassion and character.
