Our Lady of Vailankanni High School, Borivali West, is managed by the Mothers Education Trust, a trust registered under the Bombay Public Trusts Act. It was founded in 1982 by Shri John Wren De Silva, an engineer, and Smt. Sally J. De Silva, an educationist.
There were few schools in Borivali West at the time, and with the encouragement of well-wishers the school began in shops (galas) at Jairaj Nagar, with just four students in Std. I in its first year. It grew quickly as more families admitted their children, until the shops could no longer hold the classes.
With whatever funds the Trustees could raise, a plot of land was bought in 1987. As it lay in a No Development Zone, only a small building was allowed; the school moved there, on Link Road near Yogi Nagar, in 1990 and has been there ever since. Within its ground-floor building it has a fully equipped science laboratory, a computer room and a library.
OLV is an English-medium school from Nursery to Std. X, following the Maharashtra State Board (SSC). It is a small school by choice, close to its students and their parents, and true to its motto: Much not Many, Quality not Quantity. Many of its students are now doctors, engineers and professionals in India and abroad.
