On Saint John’s Academy
“Education is not preparation for life; it is life itself”.
John Dewey
The course of progression in this era is aimed towards the development of a new future-a sustainable environment for successive generations to thrive in. The key role for which is played by education and the means to learn.
Our school, Saint John’s Academy, is not just another institution for providing knowledge, it’s a temple of education. It was 31 years ago when a dream was born in the minds of our Directors; Mr. C.V. Innes and Mrs. Dorinda Innes, to impart education to children from all walks of life and ensure that they possess the proper resources to take on the world that ensues.
It all started at the Sharda Talkies Cinema Hall in Naini, where the Innes family decided to extend their hand towards philanthropy in the form of education. From there, land was bought at Karchana, and Saint John’s Academy was built. Mr. C.V. has always believed in the unity of mankind and appreciated the constant support that his children, Mitchell and Michelle, provided him with. Their efforts have sufficed and turned an empty plot of land into the institution it is today.
Saint John’s Academy aims to provide children with a brighter future, free from hardships. It was based on the foundation stone of eliminating negative social trends in society and teaching us to differentiate between what we think is right for us from what is actually right for us. Our school was established out of deep commitment to a cause, the cause of sound education and the opportunity for it to be tempered with a deep sense of purpose to all; instilling in us the cultural heritage of inheriting from our past and using it to shape our future.
The main caveat of building a good educational platform is acquiring staff and teachers who have a commitment and love towards the betterment of children. A school will only prevail if the leadership and management quotas have a deep-seated devotion to their work. On the other hand, the development of infrastructure plays a vital role in the evolution of educational standards. The implementation of these details throughout the campus is what makes Saint John’s Academy stand above all others.
Our school has served children in the best ways possible, providing opportunities for growth and maintaining a friendly environment between the students and their teachers, who do everything in their power to make learning a delightful experience. Each year brings special events, excitement, and challenges for students to participate in and learn valuable lessons along the way.
Saint John’s Academy has evolved as an institution that provides core values of respect, responsibility, kindness, and discipline to its students. As one enters this fine institution, they are presented with a lush green atmosphere and astounding infrastructure. They realize that family values, dedication, purity, and bio-conservation are not words for us, but the maxims we live by. The brilliance of our school speaks for itself through the success of its students, who left behind a trail of willingness and achieved success in every field. This is the reason why Saint John’s Academy establishes itself as a platform for bringing change in the world and everything else that concerns it.
