Christ Academy Institute for Advanced Studies (CAIAS) has built its identity on a strong value framework inspired by the vision of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara and the CMI educational legacy. Our core values have evolved to nurture graduates who are intellectually competent, socially responsible, and globally conscious.
The four core values of CAIAS are Educational Distinction, Sustainability, Conscious Living, and Ethical Leadership. These core values are carefully mapped to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that the education imparted at CAIAS resonates with global priorities. This conscious alignment with the SDGs reflects our conviction that education must transcend classrooms and contribute to building a just, sustainable, and compassionate world. At CAIAS, we see our graduates not only as professionals but as change agents who carry forward the motto “Light to Enlighten” into society and the world.
