St. Stanislaus High School is a private primary and secondary school for boys located in Bandra, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Founded in 1863 by German Jesuit priests as an orphanage, the institution later grew to be a full-fledged school for day-scholars as well as boarders and now has more than 2,300 students from KG-10.^[1]^[2] The school is spread over a campus of approximately seven acres (three hectares), making it one of the largest schools (by area) in Mumbai.

Sports

In addition to academic work, the school encourages the development of young athletes and sportsmen. Teachers like Master Neeff, Master Oliver, Master Willy, Master Donald and sportsmasters include Oliver Andrade (who founded the famous Jogger's Park in Bandra Mumbai), Master Cyril Gabriel, Fr. Harry Pereira, S.J., Fr. Benjamin Fernandes, S.J., and Fr. Robin Selwyn, S.J., in the 1970s and 1980s saw the place of sports in the full development of youth.

Through the efforts of Fr. Lawrie Ferrao, as principal, the gymnasium was upgraded with a treadmill. The Donnelly field was completely redone with new turf and sprinklers. After that the carpentry room next to the Donnelly gym was renovated and part of it made into a changing room, and the toilet facilities repaired. The grounds facing Waroda Road were revamped and floors tiled, for weddings and other gatherings. It is also called "The Backyard Lawn".^{[citation needed]}

The school has won inter-school tournaments, participating in the Ahmed Sailor Cup in field hockey. The school has a grass hockey ground (Donnelly Gym), two basketball courts, an outdoor badminton court, two football grounds, two smaller grounds, a swimming pool and a gymnasium. The hockey ground is used to play state-level tournaments.

School houses

The school has four houses: Britto (red), Loyola (yellow), Xavier (blue), and Kostka (green), named after Jesuit saints John de Britto, Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, and Stanislaus Kostka.
