This is a famous educational institution at Yercaud imparting education to boys.The Montfort School has a zoo which is open to the public ONLY on Sundays. The School possesses an excellently designed Church. It is really worth a visit if You love architectural masterpieces and have the sense to respect the sanctity of a place of worship. Lead kindly light, amidst the encircling gloom" This prayer is the essence of our educational objectivesto lead the children from darkness to light Montfort has been performing such a stupendous task ever since the beginning of the 19th century. In the New Millennium, as a "School of Excellence", it has further qualified its beliefs in the philosophy of quality education. Hence in Montfort, we do not stop with the amount of information that is imparted to each child, but take it further to focus on manmaking, life building, character formation and spiritual growth. In other words, the ultimate end of our "Labour " is "Virtue"
