Every parent who comes to the Academy , comes with a very clear understanding that our aim is precisely to train his/her child and set him /her on her feet to work his own way into any school of his choice.

The Academy, being an independent pre-school has a wide ranging curriculum giving predominance to the correct usage of the English language , Science and General Knowledge.

The Academy emphasizes also on the all round personality development pf a child. In line with belief, various extra circular activities such as picnics,nature walks visit to the zoo, horse riding, are organized at regular intervals. Besides, regular dance and music classes are held within the school premises.

The programme of instruction is designed to meet the need of different schools which our children seek admission.

Care is taken to draw out the best in each child, laying emphasis on developing his aptitude for music, speech training, dance, art and hard work. We believe that this alone will help develop confidence, and train him in leadership and responsibility.

St. Joseph's College in Nainital

"St. Joseph's College"

St. Joseph's College Nainital was established in 1888. Initially the site was the location of a seminary, run by the Italian Capuchin Fathers. The seminary ran for a short while and then reopened as a catholic school for Boys: St. Joseph's College. Hence, the school is still referred to as "SEM" (for Seminary). In 1892 four christian brothers took over formal charge of St. Joseph's College and thus began the involvement of the christian brothers in the running of the school.

Today, St. Joseph's College is one of the 20 educational institutions in India conducted by the congregation of christian brothers, a pontifical institute, founded in Ireland in 1802 by Edmund Rice -A wealthy catholic layman, who was beatified in 1996. St.Joseph’s College is currently going through a period of transition. For the first time in over 100 years the school is being led by a layman, Mr.James M.Paul, who took over as principal, in April 2000. The christian brother presence is still strongly felt.

However, as brother T.P.Fitz Patrick, brother J.Murray and brother O.A. Ballantyne still play an active role in the school, taking classes and involving themselves in co-curricular activities.

The school’s current roll strength is about 960, with 360 boarders on the rolls. New admissions are taken only in classes one and three. There is no intake in any other class. The school is affiliated to the council for the Indian school certificate examinations and prepares students for the ICSE examinations. There is no plus-two section at present. The school’s main focus is on academic excellence but provides enough opportunity for the all-round development of a students personality. six playing fields, a gymnasium

and a swimming pool provide sufficient slope for physical development. A wide range of cultural and co-curricular activities allow for the development of communication and inter-personal skills. Value-education as a means of character development lies at the heart of all that takes place at St. Joseph’s.
