Vision & Mission

The Board of Directors, elected by the society’s general body, appoints the president and overseas the School Management Committee (SMC), which provides guidance to all units within ACA. At ACHS, governance is further facilitated by the ACHS School Management Committee (SMC), ensuring adherence to established protocols and standards.
Day-to-day leadership responsibilities are entrusted to the management committee, formed in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). This committee comprises educators, parents, nominated members from the society’s general body, as well as esteemed educationists and philanthropists.
Our journey
Asian Christian High School (ACHS) traces its roots back to a modest start in 1996, with just 225 students enrolled from Lower Kindergarten to class I. Over the years, our school has evolved into a comprehensive institution, now accommodating over 3500 students from Kindergarten to class XII.
The inception of Asian Christian Academy of India dates back to 1978 when it was registered as a society, with the Dr. Isaac John serving as the founding President, Dr. Joy M. George as Secretary, and Rev. Richard Sackman as Treasurer. Following Dr. Isaac John’s passing, the mantle of leadership was assumed by Dr. Joy M. George, who earnestly prayed for guidance in carrying forward the vision of the academy.
In 1994, Dr. Joy M. George envisioned extending educational opportunities to economically disadvantaged children in the community, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become Asian Christian High School. Under the leadership of Mr. Bobby John, the inaugural principal in 1996, strong community relationships were fostered, setting the stage for the school’s growth.
The affiliation from the Central Board of Secondary Education as an English medium Co-educational school was a significant milestone achieved under the tenure of Mrs. Rita Reddy, the second principal, in the year 2000. Despite initial challenges, including conducting classes in makeshift spaces, the school preserved, eventually constructing the Academia Block and establishing over 100 classrooms equipped with modern amenities like smart boards.
Following Mrs. Rita Reddy’s close to a decade-long tenure, Mrs. Teresammal Robi assumed the principalship in 2007, ushering in a period of continued growth and expansion.
In 2013-14, the school was elevated to Senior Secondary level, offering various streams including Mathematics, Science, Commerce, and Computer Science. The introduction of the Compartment System in 2012 further streamlined academic processes, with dedicated staff members assuming roles as Compartment Heads and Department Heads.
In 2023, Mrs. Teresammal Roby retired from her principalship, transitioning into an Emeritus position focusing on our Centre for Teaching Excellence. Mr. Sijumon K G, who was the Vice Principal from (2013-23) has been promoted to assume the role of principalship from (2023-24) to lead the school in the pursuit of excellence. Throughout our journey, ACHS has remained committed to providing quality education to all students, including those with learning disabilities, through our Special Education Department, which offers tailored individual Education Programmes and support services.
As we reflect on our journey, we are grateful for the resilience and dedication of our faculty and colleagues in administration units, the unwavering support of our community, and the guidance of our good Lord, that has propelled us forward. At ACHS, we remain steadfast in our mission to nurture and empower every student, regardless of background, to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society.
Diversity
Our worldwide offers a compelling framework for understanding and embracing diversity in schools. Grounded in Love, equity and unity, the Christian perspective challenges ACHS leadership and teachers to cultivate environments where every individual is valued, affirmed, and empowered to reach their full potential. By embracing diversity as a reflection of God’s creative design and fostering communities of inclusion and belonging, ACHS embodies the transformative power of Christ’s love in shaping the hearts and minds of future generations.
While diversity encompasses a wide array of differences, including cultural, racial, linguistic, and religious diversity, our perspective on diversity highlights the common humanity and shared identity of all individuals as beloved children of God. This unity amidst diversity serves as a unifying force, fostering mutual respect, cooperation and collaboration across cultural and social divides.
We welcome students from all backgrounds and walks of life. Our commitment to diversity is unwavering, ensuring that every student, regardless of socio-economic status or geographical origin, has access to quality education. In our admission process, we prioritize academic credentials while embracing the rich tapestry of cultures and experiences that our students bring. Our curriculum goes beyond academics, instilling values of justice, unity and social skills essential for success in a diverse world.
At ACHS, diversity is not just demographic- it’s a strength that enriches our learning environment and prepares students for higher education and beyond. Join us in celebrating diversity at ACHS, where every student is valued and supported on their educational journey.
