From a single vision in 1991 to a school that has shaped generations of Akalpur — the story of Vimal Vidyalay Convent High School.
Vimal Vidyalay Convent High School, Akalpur is owned and established by the Diocese of Jammu–Srinagar (Catholic Church of Jammu and Kashmir) and administered by its subsidiary wing, the Diocese of Jammu–Srinagar Education Society (Reg. No. 1601-S of 1989), under Article 30(1) of the Indian Constitution. It was established primarily for the benefit of Christians and, in addition, for the benefit of others without distinction of caste, creed or religion.
Vimal Vidyalay Convent High School was initiated by Late Bishop Hippolytus Kunnunkal OFM Cap., the former Bishop of the Jammu–Srinagar Diocese, who invited the congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame of Patna to run the school for the Diocese.
The school was handed over to the Sisters of Notre Dame, to be administered according to the Educational Vision and Principles of the Notre Dame Congregation, while following the common policies and programmes of educational activity in the Diocese.
The school caters to children from the least privileged in society who are economically, educationally, socially and culturally deprived from the farming community in the villages of Akalpur and the surrounding areas.

Child-centred, value-based education that develops academic excellence, creativity and a love for lifelong learning.
Helping students grow in faith, develop a relationship with God and live according to Gospel values.
