THE FOUNDATION

We are Ryan Foundation that began in Mumbai, under the aegis of St. Xavier and Ryan International Group of Institutions, in 1976. 32 years hence, we continue to relentlessly pursue our passion for building and fostering the up-coming generation. Over the years we have generated novel ways to keep the standards of education elevated.

Ryan pioneered comprehensive teaching on Environmental Conservation, Personality Development and Computer Sciences, which is presently accepted by various States and private educational boards. We have also made forays internationally by establishing ‘Friendship Institutions’ worldwide. In the future, we plan to offer higher educational courses in the filed of Engineering, Medicine & Management, with the long- term objective to start our own University. We are proud to declare that - a leading publication had placed us as one of ‘India’s Most Respected Schools’ of the Northern, Western and Southern regions of India.

Our defining educational standard is our firm belief in the value of the involvement of children and the important role they play in the society.

WHAT WE DO

Igniting young minds, nurturing education and instilling knowledge to make the world a better place. Whatever we do, we do it to comprehend this wholesome dream. Ryan always endeavors blending creativity and innovation to facilitate children learn better and faster, in a rather inspirational way. The (ICFPA) ‘International Children Festival of Performing Arts’ stands alone as a firm testimony to the fact, where thousands of children from different countries, are dazzling the world with performances, since the last 10 years. Similarly, we have (INMUN) ‘Indian Model United Nations’, a student run simulation of the United Nations, where Student Delegates representing different UN member countries, address specific issues of current interest. The aim of this conference is to equip our children with the power of decision making; to keep them updated about the international economic, social and environmental affairs, and to make them adept at the art of negotiation, while still learning the United Nations’ modus operandi. We have many other parallel activities which encourage the exchange of ideas, cultures and values, among a wide array of countries. Another equally striking fete is the (WFPAC) ‘World Forum of Performing Arts for Children’. To arouse a sense of ‘global citizenship’ in our younger generation, we are beginning this fusion of traditions in Sharjah, U.A.E, where millions of expressions will have just one story to tell, that is of Artistry, Respect and Union. Moving closer to its goal, Ryan is now also introducing an all new initiative to the world of child’s education- the ‘MICFF’. Initiated by the foundation, the ‘Mumbai International Children's Film Festival’ is one of the major leaps towards child’s progress. Prepared to showcase world cinema to the children of Mumbai, it promises development of human understanding to our young ones. Like every other project of Ryan’s, it is very much child centric, educative and practically helpful to children. We believe in assisting children evaluate life more practically and creatively.

Our philosophy of guiding, grooming and educating children beyond just books has motivated us to initiate the ‘International Children's Art Exhibition’, 2009. Intended to educate children by stimulating their creativity, this exhibition aims at showing different societal aspects, issues, problems and their solutions through children’s art.

THE VISIONARIES

Before Ryan was a Foundation, it was an idea. In the minds of Chairman Dr. Augustine F. Pinto & Managing Director Madam Grace Pinto, who with their far-sighted vision are relentlessly working to create unparalleled educational standards across the globe. Under their able guidance Ryan has grown not only in size but also in knowledge, and reputation. Of course our extended family is much larger, comprising countless educators, teachers, principals, students and their parents who trust and love us implicitly.
