Welcome to Ilex Public School Kariyatpur

The Motto

"Lead Kindly Light" is the motto of the school. It is a fragment of the first line of an inspiring poem written by Cardinal Henry Newman (1801-90). Newman believed that the soul of man is continuously unfolding itself. Its final manifestation is very distant. What man can do is to take one step at a time and that, too, with the benevolent and illuminating assistance of God. Rendering of enlightened leadership being a major component of our motto, we don't stick to obsolete ways. Ours is an ever-widening horizon, embracing the eternal past, the refreshing present and the alluring future. We believe that there is no escape from such synthesis.
