CS Academy is a group of schools in the Erode Coimbatore belt. They have three CBSE schools and three International Schools affiliated to the Cambridge Assessment International Education. They are mainstream schools and have over 3000 students. The vision of the school is not just to produce high scoring students, but also provide all round development. The school therefore offers a host of extra curricular activities and students have done well for themselves in MUNs, Ted Talks, sports, and other endeavours such as the commonwealth essays and national and international Olympiads. The schools also offer exposure to learners by sending them on community programmes and going for summer camps in places such as NUS in Singapore. Both the CBSE and the International schools have done very well in the Board examinations, with results averaging at about 90% marks in the CBSE and over 50% of the students appearing for the Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels securing A or A* overall. There have been several regional and world toppers over the years. In all the schools students have found excellent placement in the top colleges in India as well as the world.
This is a unique Samskritam medium school, where all learners study subjects in Samskritam. At its core the institution holds shastraic knowledge as an integral part of academics. The underpinning is to sensitise learners to ancient Indian wisdom and to decolonise the minds of the youth. They have a blend of the NCERT curriculum where the acharya, all pundits in the language add relevant parts from Indian Knowledge Systems. In Mathematics there are excerpts from Aryabhatteeyam and Leelavati and similarly from other scientific treatises written centuries ago by Indian sages on Ayurveda, Yantrashastra, Rasayanashastra and Siddhantha Shiromani. These and more cover all branches of science as presented in modern academics. In Itihaasa too they study texts like Arthashastra, Kachit Sarga and other texts. In addition they are taught about unity in the pluralism of this civilisation as well as about great Indians who have lived in the past starting from the Vedic period, content which is not taught in the mainstream. This requires heavily trained teachers. That is why this institution felt the need to induct a senior leader to run training programmes and under the guidance of Ms Nithya Sundaram, the institution sought affiliation with Central Sanskrit University and is running the Post Graduate Diploma in Indic Way of Teaching and Learning.(PGDITL). The course includes not just a study of the texts taught in the school but also trains candidates in pedagogy along with Contemplative Learning Prakriya. There are other advantages in the course, where candidates get to understand how to navigate through two challenges that every school faces such as online learning and handling learners with different linguistic backgrounds.
This includes three schools, one proposed CBSE, Varadaprastha Academy, one proposed Cambridge school, Rivendale Academy and one Munchkins following the Finnish Early Childhood Programme called Kindiedays.. The unique features in these schools is that they all have a blend of modern systems with elements of Contemplative Learning Prakriya. At the core these institutions envision Indian values along with modern professionalism. Every learner, it aims, must become a seeker of truth in keeping with India's guru shishya parampara. The schools have the facility to offer project based learning. Learners get a platform to do and learn by doing a maximum of six multidisciplinary projects in the whole year. Learners are taught to take learning into their hands and drive their own learning, which in the Indian tradition is called Svadhyaya. There is also an emphasis on STEM education and as such there are AI Labs and Robotic Labs in the school with a proposed STEM centre. The reports on CLP have been largely generated from these institutions.
