Message from the Principal's Desk

Dear Parents, Students, and Esteemed Members of the Thomas Baptista International School Community,

Warm regards,

It is with great joy that I extend my heartfelt wishes as we continue our journey together at Thomas Baptista International School—a community rooted in strong principles and dedicated to nurturing excellence in every child. Our vision is to nurture not just bright minds, but also compassionate hearts grounded in Gospel values and prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We are committed to a value-based, learner-centric approach that emphasizes emphasizes deep, meaningful understanding over surface-level memorization. Our students are encouraged to think critically, explore new ideas and make thoughtful decisions—developing future-ready skills through STEM education, digital literacy and real-world applications. They are given the freedom to question, experiment and discover, while learning to understand the impact of their actions on others and the world around them.

At Thomas Baptista, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. Co-curricular activities play a vital role in shaping well-rounded individuals, helping students develop essential life skills such as leadership, teamwork and creativity. Sports and physical education in particular are actively encouraged and play a key role in each student’s overall growth.

We also place great emphasis on building global awareness—encouraging cultural understanding, environmental responsibility, and climate consciousness. These experiences help our students grow into informed, responsible global citizens who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the world.

Guided by the visionary leadership of Rev. Fr. Dr. John Fargose, we remain steadfast in our commitment to holistic development-educating minds, shaping character and inspiring purpose.

As we embark on another exciting year, I look forward to seeing our students grow, excel, and make a positive impact in the world. Thank you for being an integral part of our community, and together, we will continue to shape the future leaders of tomorrow.

Wishing everyone a fulfilling and enriching academic year ahead.

Warm regards,
Fr. Kiran V. Lopes
