Updated on: 17th October, 2025 11:22 AM

In India’s dynamic education landscape, the Ryan Group of Schools has carved a niche for transforming the lives of countless students. Nearly four and a half decades ago, Dr. A. F. Pinto, Chairman, and Madam Grace Pinto, Managing Director, envisioned a mission to make quality education accessible and affordable. Today, with presence across 18 states and 40 cities, Ryan International stands tall as one of the largest privately-owned K-12 institutions in the country.

Offering diverse curricula—CISCE, CBSE, IB, ISC, IGCSE, and State Boards—Ryan schools nurture compassionate, independent, and confident learners prepared to lead in a globalized world. Guided by the motto “Excellence in Education and All-Round Development”, Ryan’s philosophy blends academic rigor with co-curricular exposure, sports, arts, technology, and value-based learning. Its emphasis on 21st-century skills—critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, entrepreneurship, and leadership—ensures students are future-ready in every sense.

Ryan has pioneered flagship platforms such as the International Theatre Festival, Indian Model United Nations, World Scholar’s Cup, and Ryan TV, giving students global exposure and media skills. With a strong sports culture and collaborations for higher education abroad, Ryanites have excelled nationally and internationally. The group also emphasizes social responsibility, with students actively leading environmental campaigns, relief work, and community initiatives. Notably, Ryan Schools even hold a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest charitable donation drive.

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the group integrates technology, research-driven pedagogy, and industry partnerships to shape learners not just for employability but also for entrepreneurship and innovation.

“With a strong belief in nurturing lifelong learners, we at Ryan Group are committed to hands-on, experiential learning, developing 21st-century skills, and fostering responsible global citizen leaders,” says Madam Grace Pinto, MD, Ryan Group.
