The aim is to develop self-confidentent, educated and cultured young men and women who strive to succeed in life and make the world a better place. The emphasis of the education imparted in the Indus Academy is to develop the educational and social skills that are in desperate need in an increasingly competitive and challenging world. The institution remains committed to nurturing intellectual curiosity, moral integrity, and a passion for lifelong learning.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1743105106328{margin-top: 80px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;flip-mobile&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; la_animation_duration=&#8221;1&#8243; la_animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; la_animation_iteration_count=&#8221;1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;storyimgpara&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;story-text&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Seeds<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1747746717548{margin-top: -15px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;story-text&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We started as a small home-housed Montessori school in 1989 called The Playschool. We loved and nurtured the tiny people who came in with tears in their eyes, and we made sure that they left with smiles. We soon had over a hundred students. At which point we felt confident about widening our little world beyond the Montessori stage. Our decision to grow the school has been validated by the success of the Indus Academy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; la_animation_duration=&#8221;1&#8243; la_animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; la_animation_iteration_count=&#8221;1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;maintheme&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742737450652{margin-top: -40px !important;}&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/indus-academy-clipper.svg\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;554&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1744345553474{margin-top: -25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742736583074{margin-top: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; la_animation_duration=&#8221;1&#8243; la_animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; la_animation_iteration_count=&#8221;1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;maintheme&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742738416131{margin-top: -40px !important;}&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/indus-academy-clipper.svg\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;789&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1745875485673{margin-top: -25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; la_animation_duration=&#8221;1&#8243; la_animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; la_animation_iteration_count=&#8221;1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;storyimgpara&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;story-text2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Sprouts<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1747746778682{margin-top: -15px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;story-text2&#8243;]We founded The Indus Academy in 1997 as a nursery and primary school.
