Heena K. received the highest marks.
Students at Christel House India – Bangalore (CHIB) posted exceptional results as the Grade 10 SSLC (Senior School Leaving Certificate) Board results were released. 100% of the class passed and nearly all passed with first class and distinction marks according to Jaison C Mathew, CEO, Christel House India. Heena (pictured) received the highest marks with an impressive 97.3% overall.
“The SSLC is the first benchmark of academic achievement for students throughout India,” says Dr. Ponath Abhimanyu Maya, Principal K-12, CHIB. She describes the exam as a requirement for admissions into pre-university courses and then into degree colleges. “This is important for our students because many of them are first generation learners in their families,” she says. “This is a proud moment for the students and parents.” While remote learning due to the pandemic during their 9th grade year created learning gaps for most students, teachers worked with the kids to develop strategic and aggressive plans to make sure all students were prepared for the board exams. This included after-school remedial classes and a series of mock exams. “The teachers were elated at the results,” says Maya. “It was very satisfying to see that we achieved the desired target.”

Divya R., 2017 Christel House India graduate
Divya R. has landed her dream job as a Testing Engineer at Daimler Trucks Innovation Centre India. It’s no small achievement for the 2017 Christel House India graduate. “Christel House encouraged and gave me the courage to speak up and question status quo,” says Divya. “This made me an independent individual.”
Divya says it was hard growing up in a single parent, financially challenged home. Joining Christel House in kindergarten changed her life. “At Christel House, students are encouraged to be independent individuals who can bring a difference in their communities.” Looking back, Divya believes that while challenges made her resilient, Christel House shaped her as the well-rounded person that she is today. “My school exposed and broadened my worldview and gave me an added advantage over many of my peers.” With a scholarship from Christel House, she credits the College & Careers program in helping her choose a college. “I graduated with a B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology.” She is enjoying learning all the operations at Daimler. Divya calls Christel DeHaan, the late Founder of Christel House, her fairy godmother. “No words can express how grateful I am for everything she has done for the world.”

Christel House India grad's dreams come true

Supportive teachers changed his life.
Deepak K. has fond memories of his experiences at Christel House India. “I cherished every moment of my school life,” says the successful 2011 graduate. “School was my comfort when things were hard at home,” he says. “My school was my pillar.”
Deepak joined Christel House in fifth grade. The difference was stark. “I experienced quality education which was denied in the school I studied up to Grade 4,” he says. “Having access to the Christel House library, music room, a computer lab, and a spacious playground were all facilities I couldn’t even dream of before.” The friendly environment and supportive teachers guided Deepak through graduation. With the College & Careers program, Deepak launched a career in the hospitality industry taking an internship at Oberoi, a five-star hotel in Bangalore. In 2016 he joined the cruise industry, working as a restaurant supervisor for Costa Cruises, based out of Italy. With the pandemic impact on the travel industry, Deepak has returned to Bangalore to take a position as Senior Analyst for Concentrix, a leader in business customer experience solutions. “Christel House helped me develop a strong educational foundation,” says Deepak. “I am grateful to Christel Ma’am and the teachers and staff at Christel House India for helping me dream and making them come true!”
