History
The fathers of the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (M.C.B.S) invited sisters of CMC Amala province Kanjirappally, to collaborate with them in the Satara–Solapur mission. Sensing the urgent need of an educational institution in the village, the then provincial council decided to start a school as their own in Lonand. The school started functioning with 26 students in K.G section in 1995 in a rented building owned by the Lonand panchayat. It started as co-educational institution with English as medium of instruction. The enrolement increased year by year and the school had to be shifted to spacious building. The province bought a plot of 4 acres of land on the Lonand –Nimbodi road and started construction of the school. A portion of the building was completed and blessed on 8 July 1997 by Rev. Fr. Thomas Thadathil, the mission superior of MCBS (Satara- Solapur) and the school shifted to the new site. In the year 2006, the first batch of 10th std passed out in flying colors.
In the year 2012, the school was raised to the status of a Junior College offering science stream. Now that the school has all the facilities of a Junior college such as laboratories, library, computer lab etc. the management procured another adjacent plot of land in 2007 and expanded the playground with basketball, volleyball and foot ball courts. It stands as one of the prestigious institutions in Satara district.
