When we started, how we evolved, and our major milestones – in a nutshell.
“When we conceived the college in 1975, it was to solve the shortage of top-class facilities for higher education in Hyderabad. Loyola today has exceeded our wildest dreams. It was, of course, God’s will.”
– Rev Fr T. Baliah SJ
Rev Fr T. Baliah SJ founded the Loyola Academy in 1976
Background | Loyola’s genesis
Loyola Academy (LA) is managed and administered by the Andhra Jesuit Province, belonging to the Society of Jesus, an international Catholic Religious Order. Loyola Academy Degree and Post Graduate College as well as Loyola Academy Junior College were founded by Rev Fr T.
Baliah SJ, in 1976 in Alwal, Secunderabad, Telangana, India.
Original Plan
After the enormous success of Loyola Chennai the Andhra Jesuit Province decided to amplify its efforts and focus on setting up a world class academy at Hyderabad. Hence, the idea of Loyola Academy was born. The assistance received from Loyola Chennai alumni and other sources only reinforced the project.
An Effusion of Support
Many alumni, from Loyola Chennai, came forward to lend a hand in the making of this Academy. These influential alumni knew the importance of setting up a state-of-the-art college in Hyderabad and proactively participated in the inception of Loyola Academy.
Big Help from Unexpected Quarters
Noble causes attract help from others and the LA project was no exception. Education being the noblest of causes, attracted many supporters who helped build the LA campus. These supporters from the government and non-government sectors shared a common vision with the Andhra
Jesuit Province.
