Embassy Group, a real estate developer, has introduced Embassy Academy as part of its educational initiatives. Nestled in the Embassy Springs integrated township in North Bengaluru. It has been designed to cater to contemporary educational needs and will be developed in two phases. The initial phase will have the capacity to accommodate 1,350 students, and the school is expected to be affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi, according to an official release.
Admissions for the inaugural academic year, commencing in June 2024, will open in October 2023, beginning with grades Nursery to 5th and extending up to grade 12th in subsequent years. The school claims to follow the CBSE syllabus pattern and places a strong emphasis on experiential and project-based learning, physical education, as well as extracurricular and co-curricular activities. In addition, students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities including science, mathematics, computer and robotics labs, a maker’s space, dedicated studios for music, arts, and dance, well-stocked libraries for both junior and senior students, dining halls, play areas and extensive outdoor sports facilities, the release mentioned.
Embassy Academy’s mission is to revolutionise traditional learning by prioritising experiential education, which focuses on how to learn rather than just what to learn. This approach encourages self-learning habits, fosters independence and nurtures qualities like competitiveness, cooperation, leadership, diligence, punctuality, teamwork and the development of creative abilities among students. With small class sizes and an ideal teacher-student ratio, the school provides individualized attention, enhancing student well-being, classroom management, academic achievement, and preparedness for higher education, as per the release.
“Embassy Group’s foray into the education sector, through Embassy Education, aims to establish a legacy of excellence and innovation. With Stonehill, an IB school, and now Embassy Academy, a proposed CBSE school, Embassy Education is dedicated to providing top-notch education that fosters holistic development and empowers students for success. Embassy Academy’s launch aligns with the Group’s vision to impact lives positively by creating sustainable environments that encourage progression and growth,” Stefano De Napoli, CEO, Embassy Education, said.
