Neil Guha, Principal of CS Academy, Kovaipudur, Tamil Nadu, is an excellent leader in his own right. He has been the principal of some of the reputed schools in Tamil Nadu. Throughout his career, Mr Guha has developed a culture of excellence where he has encouraged cooperation and collaboration among teachers, staff, and students. He has helped teachers and students reach their fullest potential through continuous learning opportunities.
Teachers at CS Academy do quantitative and qualitative investment. Various innovative strategies have been implemented for students and teachers as follows. For instance, sports is an integral part of CS and it incorporates an elite sports curriculum with facilities designed to nurture young sports aspirants and encourage high athletic spirit among the students. Exceptional sports trainers, coaches and a variety of sports such as cricket, football, basketball, table tennis, badminton, volleyball, tennis, swimming, karate, fitness training, aerobic, athletics and indoor games like chess and carrom are available to students.
At the very onset of each academic year, we define the layout of school improvement plans and goals. The meeting prioritizes suggestions that help in the holistic development of the students. As required by CBSE, Professional Development (PD) sessions chaired by experts are organized every month in the school. This platform helps teachers to improve their skills, deliver content effectively and contribute to effective classroom management.
At CS Academy, we believe that field trips help students find solutions to real life problems. Hence, educational trips are held twice a year. Coupled with this, international collaborations across all levels are conducted once in two years to recognize and celebrate exemplary practices of internationalism in school.
Learning Opportunity for Teachers
The first characteristic of high quality professional learning for teachers is the availability of intense and ongoing opportunities. We organize seminars, conferences and workshops to enrich skill development, yoga, classroom management, stress management and capacity building. It is vital for the improvement of school’s performance as well as productive and quality education.
Entrepreneur Fete
Skills like critical thinking, creativity and imagination can be cultivated through appropriate teaching and practices such as entrepreneurship education. The business fair allows students to experience the entrepreneurial process and provides a platform for their future business. Students develop a business plan and marketing strategy and manufacture their product or service to sell at the business fair. We encourage all to be creative, successful and profitable in their ventures.
All classes from KG to Grade 12 are equipped with Audio Visual (AV) equipment. We feel that AV equipment are an indispensable tool as they satisfy a student’s need to see, hear and have a complete grasp of what they learn. Experts are invited to share their knowledge on a wide variety of topics including cyber safety, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, data science, digital era opportunities, web designing etc., followed by several competitions in which the clubs play a crucial role.
