Rophine Field Junior School was established with the intention of offering value-based and quality education to our beloved children. We incorporate learning activities that help the all-round development of each child as we focus on nurturing young boys and girls to become men and women who are ever ready to live and serve for others.
The school lays great emphasis on academics whilst giving its due importance to creative arts. We do realize the fact that not all children have the same potential and so each one will achieve success differently.
With the grace of the Almighty and the hard work put in by our esteemed parents, school management, professional staff members and our beloved pupils Rophine School has been an institution of great excellence. I am sure that with the co-operation of all and by God’s guidance and blessings the school will continue to grow in all ways in the years to come.
