From
humble beginnings
approximately 31 years
ago, Assisi has
grown into a thriving community
of more than 3,100 students and their families. This
remarkable achievement is a testament
to the hard work, dedication, and
shared vision
of everyone involved.
Recently, Assisi completed
the final stage of its infrastructure development with the renovation of Annexe B. Today, we are blessed with enhanced facilities and amenities—thanks to the visionary leadership and unwavering commitment of our Director, Rev. Dr. George Mathirappilly, ably supported by our Associate Director, Rev. Fr. Marydas Kochery.
Our
dedicated teaching community
is
well-equipped
and continually updated to
inspire students
, helping them
reach new heights
by developing 21st-century skills and
fostering a love of
learning.
Theme of the Year 2025-2026: STEAM Education
“Building Solutions And Bridging Hearts Through STEAM Education.”
STEAM is an acronym for
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics—a forward-thinking approach
that prepares learners for the challenges of tomorrow.
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the
Museum of the Future
in Dubai, UAE. This
one-of-a-kind museum explores
the future of science, technology, and innovation. It is
housed in a torus-shaped building
, with windows forming
Arabic poetry about the future
—making it the
only museum that looks forward
rather than backward.
The exhibits, all
envisioned to exist by the year 2071
, promote innovation, particularly in f
ields like robotics and artificial intelligence (AI)
. The façade features quotes from Dubai’s ruler that
reflect a deep vision for the future
. For instance:
“We
won’t live for hundreds of years
, but the products of our creativity
can leave a legacy
long after we are gone.”
“The
future will be for those
who will be able to
imagine, design, and build it
. The future does not wait; it can be
designed and built today
.”
“The
secret of the renewal of life
, the
development of civilization
, and
the progress of humanity
is in one word: innovation.”

Wisdom and Values
As we reflect on the journey ahead, let me share a thought from
Bertrand Russell
, who in his autobiography wrote:
“A
good life
is inspired by
love and guided
by knowledge.”
The Conquest of Happiness,
Similarly,
Christian piety
had this merit: it made
even the humble feel the dignity of being a child of God
and gave
value to the
most humdrum existence
by making it part of a divine plan.
In
Hope
, the autobiography of Pope Francis, he reminds us of the
core value of Christianity
:
“Love your neighbour as yourself.”
Christian piety is
grounded in three powerful words:
Gratitude
(“Thank you”),
Repentance
(“Sorry”), and
Forgiveness.
