Akal Academy is a chain of 129 co-educational English medium low cost public schools following CBSE curriculum and affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in the rural areas of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The students are mostly from the deprived sections of society, admitted regardless of caste, creed, region, religion and social status.
OUR VISION
Incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib, the above divine verse exhorts and stresses that the ones who are educated will always have a universal outlook and will use education for the betterment and welfare of human-kind.
Value based education is the core of Akal Academies that aims at blending intellectual development with self-actualization and divine consciousness so as to embark on the journey to make this world as a better place to live.
We, at Akal Academy, Baru Sahib believe in empowering young minds with value based education alongside exposing them to the best of educational pedagogy.
OUR MISSION
The world today needs men and women who are honest, virtuous, selfless and compassionate and can show restraint despite extreme provocation; also who can show the path of love and have the capacity to give without yearning for returns.
To fulfil this acute need of developing human beings with such sterling qualities and lofty ideals, our founding father Sant Attar Singh Ji declared our Mission Statement in 1906, almost eight decades before the first Akal Academy was established, that reads: “To establish permanent peace in the world through value-based scientific education and spiritual upliftment, and provide solace and succor to the downtrodden and the deprived.”
Akal Academy aims at developing young people to cultivate a mind imbued with spirit of inquiry, thirst for knowledge, respect for diverse world cultures and a keen desire to serve the community in which they live and work, as well as aspire to serve humanity at large through their spiritual values and knowledge acquired through modern education.
Our schools are dedicated to teaching students to be involved, active learners who work hard, think critically and creatively, and communicate effectively. We emphasise high expectations for all students, and support them to reach their full potential in all aspects of achievement, especially in academics, arts, sports, social skills and civic participation, all of which prepare students for success in their lives after high school.
Passionate, knowledgeable and skilful teachers are the core strength of our school system. We expect our faculty and staff to provide a dynamic and rewarding learning experience for students. Excellent teaching begins with strong relationships between faculty and students and is nurtured by collaboration among colleagues. We are committed to supporting a professional community that creates and sustains an atmosphere of intellectual excitement, innovative instruction and personal growth.
Through collaboration we find new sources of learning and strength. The Akal Academy Baru Sahib actively promotes collaborative relationships. We seek out partnerships with community organisations that add value to our school system. We urge and support collaboration and exchange within and across our school community.
We are committed to acknowledging and celebrating the diversity within our community while affirming the importance of our common humanity. By promoting a safe environment for questioning and challenge, we foster the growth and value that comes from different perspectives, cultures and experiences. Our commitment is to create an atmosphere of safety which acknowledges acceptance and respect for all.
We at the Akal Academy Baru Sahib are committed to identifying and eliminating barriers to educational achievement in our schools. To this end, we create policies and practices that are fair and just and provide educational opportunities to ensure that every student, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, marital status, age, nationality, or economic status meets our standards for achievement, participation and growth.
