As part of its educational initiatives, Embassy Group, a real estate developer, has launched Embassy Academy. Located in North Bengaluru's Embassy Springs integrated township. It has been designed to meet modern educational needs and will be implemented in two stages. According to an official release, the school's initial phase will have a capacity of 1,350 students and will be affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi.
Admissions for the inaugural academic year, which begins in June 2024, will open in October 2023, with grades Nursery through 5th being offered first, followed by grades 6th through 12th. The school claims to follow the CBSE syllabus pattern and emphasises experiential and project-based learning, physical education, and extracurricular and co-curricular activities. According to the release, students will also have access to cutting-edge facilities such as 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 mission of Embassy Academy is to transform traditional learning by emphasising experiential education, which focuses on how to learn rather than what to learn. This method promotes self-learning habits, independence, and the development of qualities such as competitiveness, cooperation, leadership, diligence, punctuality, teamwork, and the development of creative abilities in students. According to the release, the school provides individualised attention with small class sizes and an ideal teacher-student ratio, enhancing student well-being, classroom management, academic achievement, and readiness for higher education.
