Our Management

Message from our Director

Mr. Ashok KM Gowda

Chairman KMET, EKAM International School, Electronic City

“Excellence is driven by hard work, Success is strengthened by constant Efforts”.

Best part of education as we all have found in the past years is that we have a great opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our students, their families, and the world. Every day in EKAM International School Ecity, students discover who they are and who they can become. Our mission has always been to provide a positive catalytic impulse to every child, to stretch their inherent learning competencies through a self discovery process. In this process, the uniqueness of each child is recognized, nurtured an treasured. Emphasis is focused on learning and not on teaching, like we always quote “we teach them how to learn than what to learn”. Every year our focus to develop our students as global citizens, with tolerance, respect and appreciation of divers cultures and religions for a life-time learning experience has yielded fruit and we see a self-motivated, independent confident decision makers taking up a leadership roles and this gives us immense satisfaction of reaching new horizon every year towards our goal. We at EKAM have a clear goal to provide holistic education where children evolve as individuals who are self motivated and creative, who can think, question and reason out logically; also individuals who are independent confident and leaders capable of taking decisions. As previously proved this academic year also the school’s strategic plan, excellent teaching and support staff, parents, and Board are aligned in achieving Excellence in all aspects and to identify critical focus on the development of the skills, knowledge, values and attributes needed for Lifelong learning, Being responsible to Community and environment and a march towards Global citizenship. I am inspired by the possibilities that exist for our school this year and in the years to come. We sincerely want to work together to make EKAM a happy place where children love to learn, a place in which parents believe their children are receiving an education second to none, and a place in which teachers express their joy of working with pride.
