About Us
Intro
Pilgrim Higher Secondary is a Christian private day-cum-residential school affiliated to the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE). Established in 1987 by its founders Mr. & Mrs. M. Kikon, the school began its humble journey with a vision to provide quality education.
Motto
The school rests on the motto, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” – Proverbs 9:10.
It aims to nurture and empower children to grow into responsible and healthy citizens, excelling in every aspect – body, mind, and spirit. We believe that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God and is therefore, capable of excelling in life.
