De Paul International Residential School, Mysore, is the first of its kind in India run by the Vincentian Fathers, Congregation of Mission C.M). The school is named after St.Vincent De Paul, the founder of the CM. The Congregation has a glorious legacy of 385 years behind it in the field of education and service to mankind. The school is deeply-rooted in the ideals of the manifestation of the divine qualities already existing in man. As most of our homes fail to create opportunities for our children to grow in their Catholic faith and we have very less time, we are caught between the parental responsibilities and material pursuit. We may even fail to nurture the Catholic faith that we have received. DPIRSM is a great solace and solution to all those problems faced by our Catholic students and their parents. Here the children are given world class training with the latest academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular facilities.
