Night High School and Jr. college

Since its inception in 1922, the Night High School at Parel, a key initiative of the SSL, has completed a remarkable 100 years of service. It was the 1st Night High School in India. The aim of this initiative was to cater to the needs of education and learning of the working class and the weaker sections in the vicinity. Bharatratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the first teacher of our institute which indeed was an honour to us. Free education from std 8th to 10th was provided in the high school. The local mill workers and their families were highly benefited out of these programs.

In the year 1974, considering the interest of the students and the over whelming response of the Night School, we also started Jr. College in addition to the school. In the current academic year, the combined student enrolment at the Night High School and Jr. College in Parel is above 250. Even today, minimal fee is charged for the Jr. College. There is an ongoing commitment to enhance the academic performance of both SSC and Jr. College students. Our devoted educators are diligently providing coaching sessions, even on holidays and weekends, to elevate the overall results. We are fortunate to have the active support of MASOOM, an NGO, in our mission to continuously improve the academic outcomes.

Every Year, the academics start in the month of June. International Yoga Day, Guru Pournima, Teachers’ Day and many other events and occasions are celebrated with enthusiasm. Welfare activities such as book distribution, providing stationary to the children, etc are undertaken by the school in association with various voluntary organisations and NGO’s. Also, every year we conduct Annual Function for the current year students and this year we also had an Alumni Meet for the ex – students who have passed out from the high school and jr. college and have achieved proficiency in their respective fields. Our ex – students have always made us proud of their achievements. Motivational Speech, Seminars to encourage the students are also conducted by the institute.
