St. Francis Convent School. Kartarpur is founded under the aegis of the Diocese of Jalandhar and is run by the Franciscan Clarist Sisters. It is a minority community School enjoying the rights and privileges contained in Articles 29 and 30 of the Indian Constitution. The religious Sisters who are serving in the various Christian institutions in Punjab and elsewhere are people who are voluntarily vowed to God to lead a holy and dedicated life of selfless service to their fellow human beings. In order to surrender themselves totally to the love of God and service of humanity, they renounce family life and live in religious communities known as convents, a home of prayer and serenity. The school management is committed to the cause of education as a mission of Christ, the Divine Teacher.
