Welcome to Christ Academy Institute for Advanced Studies!

It gives me immense joy and pride to welcome you to Christ Academy Institute for Advanced Studies (CAIAS) as we begin the academic year 2025–2026. At CAIAS, education is much more than the pursuit of academic excellence; it is a journey of transformation shaped by the timeless vision of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara, our founder and a beacon of selfless service, social reform, and educational distinction.

Guided by the motto ‘Light to Enlighten’, we believe in empowering our students not just with knowledge, but with the courage to use it for the betterment of society. We draw deeply from the rich CMI educational heritage, which inspires us to nurture graduates who lead with integrity, live consciously, champion sustainability, and make meaningful contributions in their chosen fields.

Our commitment is to help you grow as well-rounded individuals, fostering intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and ethical leadership. We aspire to shape graduates who not only excel in domain expertise and creative problem-solving, but who also practise resilience, authenticity, inclusivity, and empathy in all they do. The values of sustainability, conscious living, and stewardship are not ideals we merely teach, but practices we encourage every student to embody in their daily life.

As you begin or continue your journey at CAIAS, remember that you are part of a community that believes in your potential to be a light in the world — a light that enlightens not just yourself, but everyone around you. Together, let us walk this path of learning, service, and positive change, drawing strength and inspiration from St. Chavara’s remarkable legacy.

May this year be one of growth, purpose, and discovery for each of you.

With blessings and best wishes,

Fr. Antony Davis CMI
Principal
