Saraswat Vidyalaya is an educational institution located in Khorlim, Mapusa, Goa, India. It was founded as a primary school[1] by the Saraswat Education Society in March 1911, and gave instruction in the Marathi language.[2] The original school building near to Mapusa police station survives and was repurposed as a bank after the school moved to Khorlim.[3] Saraswat Vidyalaya is now a high school with feeder units of pre-primary and primary.
