Dear Educators,

Growing up, I witnessed my mother grow as an educator, starting from teaching a small batch of students in our family guava orchard to now leading an educational conglomerate. Therefore, instilled in me is a very deep respect and love for the teaching profession. It is this respect and love, coupled with a responsibility to empower children to make a positive difference in the world, that form the foundations on which Ekya Schools was established in 2011.

I share this with you because I want to invite you to join me in honoring these foundational values by striving to build a community that will endure any uncertainty and survive the test of time. For me, this means encouraging a culture that nurtures authentic relationships with students, parents, and peers as we foster compassion, kindness and cultivate a growth mindset. We do not look at our work as merely transactional but meaningfully and intentionally collaborate with all, including our very own students, to create a positive and experiential learning environment. 

This culture forms the soul of Ekya Schools and as educators, you play an incredible role in preserving it. I sincerely hope you will collaborate with the School Leadership, ELC members, PDI members, and your peers in upholding our culture and encouraging our students to be thoughtful, compassionate, and eager to make a positive mark on the world.

As we welcome you back to campus for the academic year 2024-25, I encourage you to use the tools available on our Educator website. We are all here to support you and help you grow – we are dedicated to nurturing your talents and helping you reach your full potential as educators. 

Here’s to a year filled with joy, growth, and meaningful achievements!

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Tristha Ramamurthy
