Location and Facilities
St. Michael’s Convent school is located in downtown Karwar and is easily accessible and well-connected to the city outskirts. It is aesthetically and technically designed for sound effects and maximum class attention. It finds itself between the majestic evergreen peaks of the Sahyadri hills in the east, and the blue expanse of the Arabian Sea in the west. Watching the beauty of the rising sun, peeping through the forest on the hills; and its dipping down gracefully beyond the sea at the sunset gives you a spiritual experience.
