De Nobili School, Sindri is a private Catholic primary and secondary school located in Sindri in the Dhanbad district of the state of Jharkhand, India. Founded in 1963 by the Jesuits as a boarding and day school, the school prepares students for the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) examination in class 10 and for the Indian School Certificate (ISC) in class 12.[1]
The school is named after a christian missionary 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.[2]
