Modern Academy (Early Years) Every child in Modern Academy is treated as a unique person in his/her own way. Situated in the green suburbs of the city, we offer every child a happy safe and innovative learning experience to proceed to a strong and confident personality. The Modern Academy is a pre-school where children get early childhood education in a happy, loving and safe environment. We believe that a good learning experience in the early years has a very enduring impact on the days to come in terms of their abilities interests and identity. The innovative activity based teaching methodology makes learning experience fun aligned with the world outside of the school gates. Motivation and positive experience through different learning activities develop confidence in learners. Therefore, friendly, well planned and purposeful environment is created for children to help them explore their strengths and weaknesses and build their own distinct identity. We try to deliver integrated learning opportunities to the highest standard by keeping flexibility between academics and co-curricular activities. We believe that parents and teachers are the key for development of children. Therefore, we make sure that a well balanced, structured and quality learning is imparted to each child which in turn will negate the need for academic help at home. We see to it that all children have access to both indoor and outdoor provisions all of which are in an excellent condition. Our main aim for children is that they enjoy the learning process and their time with us, and we in turn, ensure that it enhances their learning and development. Sushmita Chanda.
