The Modern Academy, Garia, Kolkata

The Modern Academy aims for all round development of our students preparing them to face the future challenges of life. A student requires to develop an integrated personality with an open mind to surge forward. Education, which is an ongoing process, must not be restricted in the format of school examination. The yardstick of measurement of progress in education is not only scoring high marks in examinations but in creative opening up of a student. The way a flower takes its own time to blossom a student with his latent potential takes his own course of opening up. At The Modern Academy our teachers' role is more of a facilitator and nurturer of the young minds. Our continuous endeavour provides comprehensive programme schedule for curricular co-curricular and extra curricular activities of the students. The Students Council, consisting of the Head boy, Sports Captain and House Captains plays a constructive role in our school. The students, while shouldering the responsibilities, learn how to reach out by interacting with others. It is indeed self rewarding to watch how a student becomes identified with the group that he works with, shedding fetters of his individual identity. Over the past decade, every year we have been organizing successful project exhibitions in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History & Geography. Eminent scientists and celebrities who had been invited to inaugurate the exhibitions motivated the students with their enlightening speeches. It is always ensured that the topics of the project are related to the text. Through these manifold projects students learn to think and hone probing minds and analytical abilities. Learning becomes conceptual, functional, interactive and a happy experience. Our annual excursions, field trips, winter camp, fete, athletic meet, yoga & karate competitions, regular cricket, football and badminton tournaments, assembly talk and plenty of such worthwhile activities, bring out spontaneity of our students, inculcate values like discipline, perseverance, empathy, unity etc and lend more depth & meaning to the process of teaching and learning. Let the new generation strive for excellence in all spheres and make the workd a better place to live in. The Academy's students regularly participate in the Inter-School Competitions at the local, state and national level. A spontaneous linguistic, regional, racial and commercial harmony in the Academy will pave the way for national integration and international understanding.
