Enduring Legacy of Grooming Lifelong Learners

It’s been a long, challenging but immensely satisfying journey for Dr Grace Pinto, Managing Director the Ryan International Group of Institutions, one of India’s largest privately owned group of schools.

MANAGING DIRECTOR, RYAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS

Education, a shared passion with her husband Dr A. F. Pinto, propelled the duo to open their own school two years after they were wed. But a greater mission was also taking shape despite this humble beginning. The desire to provide affordable, quality education to children around India became stronger by the day. Driven by their zeal to transform this dream into a reality, they pressed on.

Travelling across India, all the while channelizing their energy and enthusiasm into this mission, they started opening schools one after the other, initially under the name of St. Xavier’s Group of Schools and later Ryan International Group of Schools. It never was an easy road to follow, but what gave wings to the dream, Dr Grace Pinto recalls, was that wherever they went, they had overwhelming support from the stakeholders – the parents, the teachers, local communities – who trusted them to educate their children. Today, she has flourishing schools spread across 18 states and 40 cities of India and the UAE operating from what we know today as the Ryan International Group of Institutions.

Humility continues to mark Dr Grace Pinto’s approach to the success and many achievements the schools they have garnered since the founding days of the group. In her own words: “It is because of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that we have achieved so much in the field of education.”
