Dear Friends,

Formal education was not something I adapted well as a child. I performed poorly and sought instead the refuge of our home and farm. My dear father, however, understood the importance of a solid foundation of learning and insisted that I continue in study. In time, my grades improved as well as my appreciation for education I received. The concept of the developing the whole person in mind, body and spirit was evidenced in my own life. I also cleaved to the knowledge that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom". It is this principal that has guided me along a very exciting pathway in life.

Believing that God entrusted me with such a vision. I opened the first Emmanuel Mission School in 1967. From that Time, we have grown to over 140 Schools throughout the nation of India and consider it a profound privilege to participate in the development of our nation's children.

In equipping them with a broad background in academic studies, they will be better able to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead. More importantly the Emmanuel Mission School Focuses on Spiritual and Physical growth. Developing leaders for tomorrow and teach them to serve their families, communities and nation in a spirit of love.

I encourage you as a parent to embrace your children with the very best education possible. The blessings that return form such as investment are too numerous to name. Thank you for your interest in Emmanuel Mission School. I believe that we can provide the excellence in education that you are searching for. I thank you again for choosing Emmanuel.

Yours truly,

Archbishop Padmashri Dr. M. A. Thomas

Founder & Chairman
