The school is named after a christian mission and Jesuit, Roberto de Nobili, who was the first foreigner to master Sanskrit, incognito, in sixteenth century Madurai. He apparently conducted himself like an orthodox Brahmin and is even said to have declared himself to be a descendant of Brahma.[3]
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[4] and the Indian School Certificate (ISC) examinations in Class 12.[citation needed]
