The school consistently ranks as one of the best schools in India.[1][2][3] In a 2021 survey conducted as part of the annual Education World India School Rankings (EWISR) by education newsmagazine, Education World India, Loyola School, Jamshedpur was ranked among the country’s top 100 schools.

The "chakra" or wheel on the left-hand corner is found in the center of India's Tri-colour and stands for progress. The symbol on the right is the logo of the Society of Jesus - which gives the universal trait of the Jesuits - being all things to all people. The symbol in the bottom left corner is a ladle from Tata Steel's blast furnace in Jamshedpur and signifies that the school is located in India's Steel City. The symbol in the right-hand corner of two wolves drinking out of a cauldron is taken from the coat of arms to be found in the Castle of Loyola, Spain, the birthplace of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Society. The Latin motto "In Caritat et Justitia" appearing on the ribbon underlining the base of the crest translates to "In charity and justice". The universal motto of the Society of Jesus is "Ad Majorem dei Glorium" meaning "For the greater glory of God".

Quizzes like the Thomas Paul Science Quiz, Battle of Minds, and the Cyclotron were also held under the 'Azionare' banner. The annual was held in 2018 and 2019 as well. The Thomas Paul Science Quiz is an annual, inter-school event in memory of one of the former teacher of the school, Thomas Paul; Veritas, the former annual event of Debate Club was merged with Azionare. Helix (formerly, the Maths Fest) used to be an annual maths extravaganza conducted by the Maths Club.Etrix (formerly Abacus) used to be one of the biggest computer fests of the East India.[5]

The Quiz Club of Loyola School is particularly active with a host of regular intra-school quizzes including, The Battle of Minds(2008), Battle of Neophytes, and the Bookworm Quiz. The Quiz Club [6] used to be called the GK Club until late 2021. Battle of Aces[7] and Jigyasa [8] were introduced in the year 2021 for the alumni of Loyola School and the students of Loyola Hindi/Project School respectively. The Quiz Club introduced a competitive league called Loyola Quiz League[9] in 2021 which is divided into four seasons and spans over a period of twelve months. The Club drafted its own Constitution for a smooth functioning and enforced it on the Republic Day of 2022. The Quiz Club of the school has brought a number of National and International accolades to the school as well. [10] [11] [12]

The school also plays host to entertainment events. Rhapsody is the annual extravaganza organised by the JYOTI unit of Loyola School. Tamanna, a showpiece event, was held in the XLRI Auditorium for three consecutive years, as a platform for singers, dancers, and performers in the school. In 2011 it was organised in the Assembly Ground (within the school premises itself), and included an audience of underprivileged, as well as handicapped children, from the local charitable organisations.

## The Loyolean

[edit]

"The Loyolean", first published in 1992, is the official magazine of Loyola School, Jamshedpur. It started due to the interest shown by the students of XII Commerce 1993 batch who were supported by the then principal Father Eric Cassel and Mrs Leela Ghose, and is the successor to an earlier newspaper called "Jai Loyola" which was discontinued in the 1980s and is considered to be the oldest school newspaper in Eastern India.

An original hand-drawn logo of The Loyolean still remains in the Loyola Press Club room. It is believed to have been drawn by Father Cassel himself.

## House system

[edit]

The students as well as the faculty are divided into four houses - Panthers, Cheetahs, Leopards and Jaguars. The students from these houses compete throughout the year and the House Championship is given to the house with maximum points after the annual Sports Day, which is generally held in early December.
