SPK JAIN FUTURISTIC ACADEMY

SPK Jain Futuristic Academy. Founded by the Shree Shwetambar Sthanakvasi Jain Sabha Kolkata, the key motive of the trust is the upliftment of the society, while making the community even more close-knit. The heart and soul of the Sabha are its members. It is because of the meticulous efforts of these members that the Sabha stands in its basking glory. These members from the very beginning had a futuristic approach towards philanthropy. They knew that for the upliftment of the society, quality education, empowerment, healthcare and spiritual connect are an essential. The 3 pillars of the Sabha- Seva, Shiksha and Sadhana signify the crux of these. All the institutions and efforts revolve around these three. Education is the epicentre of a number of efforts and holds a very special place in the Sabha’s heart. The effort which started with a single student in the year 1934, is now 17000+ strong! The students have proven to be the source of pride and their hard work encourages the trust even more to ensure that it is only the best that is given to them.Sprawled over a campus of over 2 acres SPK Jain Futuristic Academy is a unique Co-Educational Experiential Day Boarding school affiliated to Cambridge & CBSE* set in the mainstream, located in Newtown.

The school’s academic programmes are complemented by state-of-the-art facilities and unmatched resources. This allows for numerous opportunities for children to engage and excel in academics, sports, and co-curricular activities.  he pedagogy of the school is based on the progressive experiential approach- which translates in layman terms to “learning by doing”. Instead of sticking to the age-old traditional method of regurgitating content, Jain Futuristic works on a concept and application driven approach that kindles curiosity and interest in students and motivates them to apply higher order thinking skills like problem solving and creativity. There are no rigid timetables to dictate a child’s day. The child coming in to school uses her/his learning time for what they want to learn and how they want to learn it- the only condition applied is it has to be a productive use of their learning time. his unique approach enables students to become accountable for their learning – a direct contrast to the conventional methodology where learning is strictly driven by the jurisdiction of adults around the child. To follow this unique child centric pedagogy, the school has adopted the principles of Maria Montessori in the pre- primary and elementary grades; in the higher grades student have a choice of adopting the Cambridge or CBSE curriculum but the core of the pedagogy in higher grades still remains experiential learning. 

Teaching faculty is the most vital resource of any school and to ensure that teachers are skilled to deliver this progressive pedagogy, the school has brought in training programs of international standards by Montessori and Cambridge academies.Since the mantra of the school is working towards future citizens who are not only academically competent but also bear a genuine sense of responsibility towards the society, it is imperative to provide a holistic learning environment for them. Sustainability is something that is inculcated and practiced on an everyday basis in school.They get involved in water preservation, waste management, and plantation and nurturing of plants at school and in their houses. Students are encouraged to read the daily newspaper and share opinions about current social and political scenarios. Collaboration is strongly encouraged both in academics and in sports. While creative writing, public speaking and performing arts classes provide an avenue for self-expression, Robotics and coding classes hone their critical thinking skills and martial arts and various sports activities enable physical fitness along with self-discipline.The school boasts an infrastructure that is at par with the best international schools in the country. Huge spacious open classrooms flooded with natural light is the hallmark of the school. Walls and furniture have a neutral décor to enable a calm environment that is best conducive for learning. The rigidity of rows of seats and the suffocating confinement of four walls is missing – and this open classroom concept renders a boundless, organic learning experience. There are multiple learning corners in each classroom with materials curated as per the theory of multiple intelligence and every child is motivated to learn by actively exploring. Every classroom is equipped with lab equipment and a library of its own- so a grade 1 child observing a plant cell or the like under a microscope is a common sight at SPK Jain Futuristic Academy.

To conclude, SPK Jain Futuristic Academy envisions a future that is closely aligned with Tagore’s dream of a land “Where the mind is without fear….and Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action”.
