Thus De Paul Kindergarten was born at Madhavgarh in 2006. The school opened with Nursery and LKG classes. The temporary building housed all necessary facilities for KG system. Well defined curriculum for a joyful play way learning, decorated classrooms, office, play equipments, sufficient toilets and wash area and spacious courtyard were some of the features of our KG.

Inspired by his teachings and mission, the San Thome Vincentian Society founded De Paul School at Madhavgarh with the aim of making quality education accessible and affordable to all children, irrespective of their background.
