History

The Presentation Congregation was founded by Nano Nagle in Ireland in 1775. The pioneering efforts of this charismatic lady providing quality education, became a world phenomenon through the dedicated lives of the Presentation Sisters. After 238 years, the power of one, an individual, has stood up for her missionary movement of 'Holding the flame against the wind' and continues to grow in vision and action.

The school in Delhi-6 was started in 1924 by Fr. Luke O.F.M. Cap. with just 13 students in a tent, under the Diocese of Shimla-Chandigarh. On 8 December 1939 Bishop Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap. invited the Presentation Sisters from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, to take over the Management of the school. The first three pioneer sisters who came to Delhi were Sr. Gabriel, Sr. Augustine and Sr. Michael. The school was co-ed and followed Cambridge syllabus and catered to children of the British garrison and railway employees. It opted for ISCE in 1963 till 1976 and later was affiliated to CBSE. Another school by the name of St. Francis Xavier's was introduced in 1950 to cater to Hindi speaking children. On 1 April 1987, there was an amalgamation of St. Francis Xavier's School and St. Theresa School under the banner of PRESENTATION CONVENT SR. SEC. SCHOOL, affiliated to CBSE.

It was one of the first schools to venture out for Open Learning System by getting it accredited to National Open School.
