Established in the year 1983, Learner’s Academy has been instrumental in nurturing the future of students for more than three and a half decades. Furthermore, the school’s alumni include some of India’s most famous personalities from various walks of life. Currently spearheaded by trustee Mr. Sumeet Gupta and administrator Mrs. Shahin Somani, at the time of its conception Learner’s Academy was the first school in Bandra to adopt the I.C.S.E. module, and over the period of time, the school has constantly reinvented their teaching approach.

The management consists of an experienced yet robust teaching faculty, which in turn influences the fundamentals of their approach, which is Activity & Application-based Learning. For instance, through “Educational Robotics” which includes the development of apps through “coding”.  Another interesting stream is the ‘Stem Education’ route, ‘STEM’ is an interdisciplinary approach to learning, wherewith academic concepts are integrated with real-world lessons. Students are guided to effectively apply science, technology, canons of engineering and mathematics in a context that bridged the gap between the classroom and the real – world. Amongst the various tools utilised for ‘STEM’ education, the school’s 3D printer & pen exercises are something that all students eagerly await to experiment and explore. 

Their co-scholastic subjects are also a testament of the prudence with which Learner’s Academy synthesises education. The importance given to activities such as Vedic Maths, Yoga, Speech & Drama, Counselling, Purposeful Pursuits, Music & Dance activities, which is taken care of by the school during school hours by their young and dedicated team co-ordinated by deputy administrator Ms. Yashica Patel. Such exercises, indeed reflect the unison of the school’s revered legacy and the constantly evolving needs of a student’s mind-space. Amongst the multiple co-scholastic activities that they offer, the Vedic Math section is truly pathbreaking, yet deeply ingrained with India’s fecund past. Through the application of Vedic Math methods, problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately and with ease. This parallel approach challenges the child’s mind to function in adherence to the concept of ‘Lateral Thinking’ and inculcates the value of adopting. The effectiveness of their teaching and its resonance amongst the students is gauged through the application of ‘Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation – C.C.E’.  The school also encourages its students to participate in various competitive examinations such as Neltas for English competency and Ignited Minds for Math competency.

Admissions for the current academic year, i.e, 2021 – 2022 has begun and school activities commence in the month of April. The management encourages and facilitates subjects based on the choice of the children, they offer French which is headed by their young principal Ms. Jessica Sequeira as an alternative language programme and also motivate them to engage in sporting activities. True to their drive to make the school a home away from home for their students; Learner’s Academy is without a doubt an institution that not only cares for the academic welfare of their students but also safeguards their holistic growth.
