Located in the heart of Pune, our huge lush green campus is more than just a physical space—it is a living environment where generations of students have learnt not only in classrooms and workshops, but through experience, practice, and shared values. As an unaided minority institution, we have always cherished our autonomy, using it thoughtfully to preserve our ethos while responding to the changing needs of education. For over 138 years, our school has stood as a proud institution of learning, guided by a committed Board of Trustees and supported by a dedicated faculty. JN Petit Technical High School stands on a strong legacy of excellence, values, and purposeful education.
Our mission is to unearth and unlock each learner’s potential by nurturing independent thinkers and lifelong learners. Holistic development lies at the heart of our mission. Guided by the values of compassion, social responsibility, and continuous learning, we strive to provide an education that nurtures intellectual and moral growth. Through innovation, inclusion, and academic excellence, we prepare our students to meet the challenges of a dynamic and evolving world with confidence and integrity.
As a Principal, I see my role as a custodian of legacy and a facilitator of growth. We honour the past with humility, engage with the present thoughtfully, and prepare for the future with confidence. Our aim is to provide our students with an education that is relevant and rooted in values—an education that equips them not just for careers, but for life. We believe that every child is unique and our vision is to empower every student to rise with purpose, lead with responsibility, and shape a better world.
The recent affiliation with the ICSE Council marks an important milestone in our journey. It reflects our commitment to academic rigour, clarity of thought, and strong language foundations, while continuing to uphold the school’s long-standing emphasis on technical education, practical learning, and holistic development. This transition is not a departure from who we are, but a natural progression—strengthening our academic framework while remaining anchored to our core principles.
Within a safe, happy and inclusive environment we foster values of courtesy, compassion, integrity, empathy, consideration, discipline and individual responsibility. At JN Petit, we aim to develop autonomous learners who are self-motivated and ready to navigate the world with confidence and character. I invite parents, students, alumni, and well-wishers to join in this continuing journey of ours.

J. N. Petit Technical High School, a pious institution, has remained steadfast and true to its founding vision since its inception. Over the years, the school has consistently upheld its commitment to academic excellence and holistic development, nurturing generations of students with dedication, values, and discipline, while staying true to the vision with which it
was founded.
Being part of this institution feels like a blessing, as its noble mission continues to inspire. Heartfelt gratitude goes to our generous Lady Petit Ma’am, Sir Petit, Trustees and the Management for their unwavering trust and faith. Their guidance and support have been instrumental in enabling new heights to be reached. The journey began with teaching under the SSC curriculum, which provided the opportunity to nurture young minds with strong fundamentals and discipline. That foundation now leads into a new chapter—the transition to ICSE.
This transition represents more than a change in syllabus; it marks a transformation in the way education is approached. ICSE opens doors to a broader, more holistic learning experience, encouraging creativity, analytical thinking, and practical application. For teachers, adapting to this system is both exciting and rewarding, as it allows students to be guided towards commendable academic results and excellence.
Warm congratulations are extended to our wonderful school family—Trustees, Management, students, staff, and parents—on achieving the remarkable milestone of becoming an ICSE school. This accomplishment stands as a testament to our collective commitment to excellence in education. The success belongs to all of us and motivates even greater aspirations in the years ahead.
Together, let us continue to uphold the ideals of this institution and strive for greater achievements, reflecting our collective dedication to quality education and our unwavering pursuit of excellence in the years to come.
