" Quality teaching will result
in higher student achievement "
We
build upon the basis that the future of our world rests upon the quality
of its youth. Quality comes through care and attention. In having
to raise children of quality and purpose, to make them the kind of
citizens the world needs so much today than ever before, we have to
educate children not just with instructions but train them in that
direction with all the care and attention they deserve.
To achieve this, we have to approach them in a way they will respond
fully. Children respond fully when they are cared for, when they feel
safe, and most of all, when they develop a healthy sense of wellbeing.
This is not only perceptible, but visible too at the CIRS.

Profile
Reading Hall
Vision CIRS was conceptualised by Param
Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji as a place where the rich
cultural heritage of India would seamlessly melt with the
modern and technological outlook of the West. Guruji said,
"Indians abroad have tried to combine their Indian way
of life with the lifestyles of their adopted countries. This
bi-cultural experience runs the risk of picking up attitudes
potentially dangerous." The deterioration in values and
culture is also seen in India. "Chinmaya International
Residential School will provide an environment that will help
integrate the best of East and West. It will be a cultural
home away from home."
