About us
Since 1963
Our History
Chowgule Education Society was founded in 1963 in Goa, beginning a commitment to education that has since grown into a family of six institutions — from Goa’s first autonomous college to a newly launching International Baccalaureate school. Headquartered at Chowgule House, Mormugao Harbour, CES has spent six decades building a reputation for academic excellence, community engagement, and steady, considered growth.
Shri Vishwasrao Chowgule
A dream lives on...
The journey of advancing holistic education in the then youngest state of India, Goa started with a dream seen by the visionary industrialist and philanthropist, Shri Vishwasrao Chowgule. He firmly believed that Goa deserves the best in education and holistic development of young minds. Thus came into existence the Chowgule Education Society in 1963, soon after Goa's liberation.
The Chowgule Education Society has at its core "promotion and advancement of education" be it formal or vocational from pre-primary to post-graduation. The society today manages pre-primary, primary and secondary schools, the flagship autonomous college, centres of Skill and Creative Studies and state of the art Sports Complex and Academy.
Every institution provides advanced service and Chowgule Education Society remains committed to keep increasing its impact demography to touch more and more lives every passing year. This aspect is integrated into curriculum designed at all levels.

Our Philosophy
Four commitments that guide every institution under the CES family.
Academic Excellence
From Parvatibai Chowgule College's NAAC A+ accreditation to Chowgule International School's IB Candidacy, CES institutions are built on a foundation of rigorous, outcomes-focused education sustained across six decades.
Social Responsibility
CES engages students directly in village adoption, learning intervention, waste segregation, medical camps, and self-help group support — treating community service as core to a CES education, not an extracurricular.
Global-Local Balance
CES bridges academia and industry through educator training and international partnerships — including ongoing discussions with the Consul General of Portugal on joint research and student exchange — while staying rooted in Goan values and community.
Trusted Leadership
Guided by President Mr. Aditya J. Chowgule since inception, CES has grown from a single institution into a considered family of six, each added deliberately rather than for scale alone.
