St. Xavier's College of Education, Patna (SXCE Patna or SXCE), is a co-educational, self-financed, Catholic minority institution in Patna, Bihar, India.[2] Founded in 1988 by the Patna Province of the Society of Jesus, it is named after St. Francis Xavier, a Spanish Jesuit saint of the 16th century and Catholic missionary to India.

History

The Jesuits first came to Patna in 1919, and in early 1930 were approached to set up a school in the city of Patna.[3] Fr. Loesch with the assistance of Fr. Marshall D. Moran opened a Cambridge school serving the people of Patna and Bihar. Later, in 1940, St. Xavier's High School, Patna, was built at Gandhi Maidan Marg. Then in November 1988 the Jesuits founded St. Xavier’s College of Education, Patna.

The college offers one-year undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Bachelor of Education[4] and Master of Education[5][6] from Aryabhatta Knowledge University.[7] [8] St. Xavier’s College of Education is approved by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The college is also accredited with "A" Grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).[9]
