About us

Faust High School was founded in 1967, on the concept of providing students with an extraordinary education at an affordable price. It was started as a Kindergarten and Junior School by Miss Zinda Fernes in memory of her father, Late Joseph Faust Fernes. The school was located on Sarojini Devi Road, Secunderabad.

In the first year there were only Lower K.G. and Upper K.G. classes. From the following year, classes were added each year until class 4. A large part of our success can be attributed to the many teachers who have taught here over the years. Children do not always have to be gifted to be successful, patience and kindness are virtues that challenge and inspire students towards extraordinary achievements. However, they have to be balanced with discipline. Particular attention has always been given to the lower classes to instil a good foundation. Our school's motto 'FOUNDATION FOR LIFE', says it all.

In February 1993, the school celebrated its Silver Jubilee on a grand scale. In 1999, the school relocated to East Marredpally. From 2002, one class was added each year till it became a high school in 2010. The school currently follows the Telangana State Government syllabus. Our first batch of Class 10 students graduated in 2011.

We completed 50 years of educational excellence in 2017. It is our dream that our students enter college and the workforce with confidence, and are well prepared for the challenges that they may encounter. When they succeed in their chosen career, we will be happy to know that we have had a small role to play in their success. We, the management and teachers at Faust High School, hope to continue serving the children of Hyderabad and Secunderabad by providing them with the right values, quality education and training to survive a with calm frame of mind in this otherwise fast paced worldp

Housed in the ancestral home of the Fernes family on Sarojini Devi Road in Secunderabad, the school is now located in East Marredpally. The school always stressed upon quality over quantity maintaining a Teacher/Student ratio of 1:20 Extra-curricular activities are encouraged and sports, cultural programmes, music classes and recreational/educational outings are all a regular feature at Faust.

As we look back over the past 58 years, we could say that the success and popularity of our school has been primarily due to the band of committed teachers, who have worked hard for the welfare of each child. Over fifty years we have had far too many teachers to mention them here individually.

With a staff of forty odd teachers, Faust High School does its best to give a well rounded environment to its students. I thank God for giving me the joy of celebrating fifty eight glorious years at Faust and pray that He may continue to bless the school for many more years to come.
