CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

‘‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom’’ (Bible)

Greetings in the name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I feel honored as you would choose Ebenezer InternationalResidential School to assist you in the formal education of your child. Westrive to provide a rigorous academic environment in a positivesetting where each student can discover their own unique gifts anddevelop them to their potential.

My life began in a Penticostal family in Central Kerala. From mychildhood the concept of developing the whole person in mind, body andspirit was evidenced in my own life. By the grace of God, He has enabledme to be a very successful business man in the Middle East. STARTING aschool was the last thing I wanted to add into my life. But when my childrencompleted their education in the most prestigious school and university ofthe world, the thought came to me that many parents may not be willing tosend their children far away for world class education. So I decided to starta world class school with the best facility for overall development of achild’s personality. With this in mind I started the first school - The NewIndian School at Bahrain in 1990 under the CBSE curriculum. Today bythe grace of God, it is running very successfully.

I desire that each child will leave Ebenezer International Residential Schoolnot just as a passionate thinker, but a thinker with passion.

I welcome you to EIRS and at the same time thank you for entrusting yourchild with us. My door is open to you always as we join hands in pursuingexcellence in education.
