Message from the principal

It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words on the very first website of Uduvil Girls’ College. Renowned for being the first Boarding School for girls in Asia, the school is second to none. She was built on the sacrifice of American Christian missionaries, who founded the school in 1824.

Uduvil Grils’ College exists to provide holistic education to girls in a Christian environment. Students are provided all the facilities for a wholesome education. They take part in various activities of Clubs and societies and enthusiastically engage in sports. This builds leadership, team work and character. Girls of Uduvil have long been known for their ability to speak English well, despite their mother tongue being Tamil.

The Chapel plays a major role in the life of the students. They gather weekly there for prayer. Thus Christian values are instilled in them from a young age. The Boarders have times of prayer thrice a day.

They grow up in a culture of mutual respect. They are taught to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.

Academics are at the centre of school life. Classes are offered in national curriculum both in the Tamil (all grades)and English media (grade 6 upwards). They have achieved excellence at Grade 5 scholarship examinations, GCE Ordinary Level and GCE Advanced Level examinations.

We are indebted to the Board of Directors , Trustees of Jaffna College Fund , donors and past pupils and well-wishers of the school who have been a source of strength and support to the school.
