GET SET FOR LIFE!
HVB Academy, founded in 1963, seeks to promote international-level education that is steeped in Indian values. We work towards creating well-rounded individuals adopting an ‘engaging’ educational approach in which students are accorded ownership of the learning process and are encouraged to actively participate in their own education by setting personal goals and self-assessment. With expert faculty to mentor students and a state-of-the-art infrastructure in place, the campus is conducive to nurture and grow young minds into becoming global and responsible achievers. In its 57 golden years, HVB Global Academy has won several awards and recognitions.
At HVB Global Academy, Primary School curriculum focuses on the Learner’s Based Model which motivates children to learn every concept on their own by exploring their calibre. In this process, teachers act as facilitators who encourage all the students to learn every concept in a play-way gaming model. The Learner’s Based Model is instrumental in making students reach their highest potential by allowing their curiosity unfold ingeniously. Such methodologies make it the best primary school to study at.
Experiential learning and conceptual inquiries at HVB form our classroom narrative along with numerous other projects facilitating the teaching-learning process. These projects are for students and involve parent stakeholders towards championing an integrated curriculum experience at HVB. By adopting John Dewey’s ‘Learning by Doing Methodology’, HVB gently prods open young minds to ‘observe, experiment, apply and do’.
At HVB Global Academy, Secondary School curriculum focuses on the Active Learning Process that has student learning at its centre. Active learning emphasises on how students learn, and not just on what they learn. Students of the Secondary section are encouraged to think hard and ingeniously rather than passively receive information from the teacher. Teachers use active learning strategies to enhance student understanding and encourage self-reflection.

Creative critical thinking is all about practically applying and testing the things students have learnt - in the form of inventions, self-analysis, evaluate solutions and choose one to solve complex problems.
In Cambridge Advanced, students learn better through the implication of another unique methodology – Metacognition. This method of learning instils complex problems solving skills by using multiple concepts learnt. It also enhances and promotes skills like critical thinking and team work to help them tread towards a bright future.
Understanding the significance of language and communication skills, teachers at HVB Global Academy ensure proper learning of these attributes by every student. HVB also tries to foster a friendly environment amongst the entire community to encourage children come out of their shell and openly communicate. Such a practice empowers students with outstanding language and communication skills to tackle the needs of a challenging tomorrow.
