About
Manipal is known for higher education. There are many renowned institutions in science, medicine, engineering and commerce. Manipal had a thriving Christian community and a small Church. This community consisted of faculty members, students and employees of Manipal group. To meet the educational needs of the community Fr. Harold Mascarenhas, the then parish priest of Manipal conceived the idea and laid out the plan for what would become “Christ School” in the future. Without much financial support or infrastructure in place, it was indeed a “leap of faith.” With two teachers and an attendant, Christ play school and kindergarten made a humble beginning on 1st June 1999 with 28 students.
