De Nobili School, Bhuli is a private Catholic secondary school located in Bhuli, in the Dhanbad district of the state of Jharkhand, India. The school is one of eight De Nobili schools run by the Society of Jesus in this coal mining area of India. The school opened in 2009.[2]

The school is named after a Jesuit Priest Roberto de Nobili who made history with his new approach to India. Born into a noble Italian Family, Roberto De Nobili entered the Society of Jesus and came to live in Madurai in India in 1606. Here he became the first European to learn Sanskrit and to study the Vedas and the Vedanta.[3] He apparently conducted himself like an orthodox Brahmin and is even said to have declared himself to be a descendant of Brahma. He tried to combine the best of both worlds. The great qualities exhibited by him made him a patron for the school[4]

Curriculum

[edit]

De Nobili is an English medium school but Hindi language and culture have a place in the curriculum. Courses of study offered lead to the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) examinations in Class 10[5] and the Indian School Certificate (ISC) examinations in Class 12.[citation needed]
