The Patron of this institution is - Saint John Bosco, who was born on August 16th 1815 to Francis and Margaret Bosco in the small hamlet of Becchi in Turin, Italy.

Losing his father when he was just 3 years old he grew up in abject poverty and had to face severe hardships and was unable to attend any regular school. As he grew up his own poverty and under privileged position made him increasingly identify with others like him. He decided to become a priest and was ordained as one in 1841.

He then dedicated his entire life to the comfort , help, education and up-liftment of poor street urchins - whether in the streets, factories or prisons. John Bosco conceived the-: " Preventive System" of education".He died on 31st January 1888, and was canonized as a Saint on 1st April 1934.

Don Bosco's capability to attract numerous children and adult helpers was connected to his "Preventive System of Education". He believed education to be a "matter of the heart," and said that the children must not only be loved, but know that they are loved. He also pointed to three components of the Preventive System: Reason, Religion, and Kindness. Music and games also went into the mix.

The essence of this system being to prevent young people from going astray or doing wrong by ensuring the constant presence of the educator in their lives and sharing their joys and sorrows. For St John Bosco education meant a fine blend of excellence in learning and involvement in extra-curricular activities as well. He felt that learning was most productive if a - "Family Spirit" prevailed between the educator and the taught.

To the youth of his time he had these words to say: “For you I study, for you I work, for you I live, for you I am ready even to give my life."(St. John Bosco)

Don Bosco Academy has since its inception being following St. John Bosco's mission and has been educating children irrespective of caste,creed,religion or gender.
