MISSION STATEMENT We exist to impart quality education by providing a positive learning atmosphere through careful mentoring to enable our students to become active contributors both for our nation and to the International Community. 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 International Residential School to assist you in the formal education of your child. We strive to provide a rigorous academic environment in a positive setting where each student can discover their own unique gifts and develop them to their potential. My life began in a Penticostal family in Central . From my childhood the concept of developing the whole person in mind, body and spirit was evidenced in my own life. By the grace of God, He has enabled me to be a very successful business man in the Middle East. STARTING a school was the last thing I wanted to add into my life. But when my children completed their education in the most prestigious school and university of the world, the thought came to me that many parents may not be willing to send their children far away for world class education. So I decided to start a world class school with the best facility for overall development of a child’s personality. With this in mind I started the first school - The New Indian School at Bahrain in 1990 under the CBSE curriculum. Today by the grace of God, it is running very successfully. I desire that each child will leave Ebenezer International Residential School not just as a passionate thinker, but a thinker with passion. I welcome you to EIRS and at the same time thank you for entrusting your child with us. My door is open to you always as we join hands in pursuing excellence in education. IN EBENEZER’s Name Dr.T.T.
