Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA), an International school

ABWA: Nurturing Excellence
A school that offers an international education is metaphorically a “world in miniature”, where one receives training for life; where one learns to take on challenges; where active and joyful learning takes place. It is here that one is encouraged to think and question, to look beyond and evolve as independent learners with global perspectives. This is the ethos of Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA), an International school with an Indian soul.

Education today focuses on ‘specialization’; ABWA identifies perfectly with this new trend, yet, strongly emphasizes the importance of a holistic development.


The chairperson Neerja Birla lays emphasis on making the student believe in themselves, the ultimate objective being “to instil in children a deep sense of self-belief that comes through deeply instilled values and a spirit that seeks excellence”.

Aditya Birla World Academy offers internationally benchmarked qualifications from Cambridge Assessment International Education from LKg till grade

10. For students of grades 11 & 12 it is one of the few schools to offer two equally invigorating programmes – A Level & IBDP. They have a unique Pre IBDP & Pre A Level programme which prepares children to transition from secondary to senior school. grade 11 students benefit from a comprehensive internship programme.

The IGCSE /A Level and IBDP results of the school are testimony to the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process. This has been further validated by marked improvement in university placements. Their young achievers aced the country and world academic rankings by bagging 2 world and 6 country topper positions in 2017! The small class sizes and ideal teacher student ratio, facilitate individual attention reconfirming that ABWA believes that every child matters.

Their focus on experiential learning extends to guest speakers, field trips, and virtual reality. Dynamic speakers such as Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Boris Becker, Stefan Haves, Vivek Wadhwa and others have inspired their students to look beyond and ahead.

Students get opportunities to attend the certified CERN training programme in Geneva and CTY summer courses at the John Hopkins University campus in Baltimore, Maryland.

The school also encourages participation in different international math competitions. At the recent NEAMC, Seoul, students won 2 gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze medals; they also participated at the World Mathematics Championship, Australia. At the World TEAM Championship held in Bangkok, Aditya Birla World Academy was the only school that represented India!

ABWA offers a range of activities to engage students with diverse interests and passions: there are clubs such as MUN, STEM, community service as well as inter-house competitions. Students are also encouraged to participate in interschool events. In line with the philosophy to make students independent learners, students have been empowered to manage annual events of dance marathon and art auctions. Students are also offered opportunities to join international programmes such as the Indo-Swiss Programme, the Summer Programme at Cambridge and Language Immersion in Spain. Furthermore, educational tours to Germany and Italy serve to widen their horizons.

Edu Tours provide an exhilarating opportunity for students to learn life skills surrounded by nature and engaging in adventure activities.

Community Service, which aims to sensitise the students to social responsibility, is an integral part of the curriculum from LKg onwards.

Emotional well-being is at the heart of the core philosophy of the school. The Youth Empowerment & Leadership Programme (YELP!) framework and the Mentoring Programme (CONNECT 101) support this goal in many ways. Talk Time in Primary, Teen Time in the Middle school and the Advisory are forums that help students voice their feelings openly.

Having identified the non-negotiable need for ongoing professional development, the school conducts regular workshops for the teachers to learn the latest pedagogical skills they can use in their classrooms.

Students participate in the morning/afternoon sports programme. The school has arrangements with several sports grounds to facilitate this requirement. Students train under the guidance of professional coaches, and can choose from Football, Athletics, Cricket, Badminton, Basketball, Table Tennis, and Horse Riding. Students are also trained to participate in Inter-school, DSO & MSSA tournaments.

Their motto “learn achieve inspire” epitomizes the spirit of the school.

Accolades ABWA may win a plenty, but for the school, more than any award, the emotional well-being of the children is of utmost importance. The best award is to see the smiling faces of their children as they embark on their lifelong journey of learning. ABWA is proud to be the driving force in creating positive-minded individuals who will contribute towards a better world.
