Mission To be continued… The Foundation
Many Maryknoll Sisters who have served the School their entire life have retired and moved back to the Motherhouse in New York. It is the vision and the wish of the Sisters to pass the sponsorship and guardianship of the School to Maryknollers, who will ensure that the School can continue to be operated in the original spirit adopted by the Maryknoll Sisters when they first opened the kindergarten in 1925. The Maryknoll Convent School Foundation has been established in 2004 to take up such sponsorship and guardianship. The Foundation is a call to all of those whose lives the Sisters have inspired to step up to lead the School into the future.
The MCS Foundation
The Foundation is the school sponsoring body to both the primary and secondary sections of Maryknoll Convent School. The Foundation was set up in 2004 by Maryknoll Sisters, former principals and former students as a limited company by guarantee and is a non-profit charitable organization. It is entrusted with carrying the MCS baton and leading the School into the future by providing all round, quality and affordable education to girls. It is a perpetuating entity, both transparent and inclusive and with wide representation and participation.

- To steer the strategic development of the School (including both Primary and Secondary Sections)
