Christel House India established its first Learning Center in Bangalore in 2001 with the vision of helping children of underprivileged backgrounds break the cycle of poverty and become self-sufficient, contributing members of their societies.

Our philosophy is that only a comprehensive, holistic development program will help children realize their fullest potential and, at Christel House India, we are committed to providing this. Based on the vision of our founder, Ms. Christel DeHaan, our school takes an innovative approach to educating children. We focus on lasting transformation rather than temporary sustenance. Through a broad program that provides an education, food, medical care and guidance into adulthood, Christel House India is creating tomorrow’s leaders.

In July 2001 we took in our first batch of 320 children.

In the 2007-08 academic year we are 762 children strong and still growing.

In 2012 our center will be filled to capacity with 972 students.
