About

At ABWA, there is a strong belief in the holistic development of the entire community. The students and teachers work together to create a cohesive learning environment that nurtures the development of a child's innate talents.

In addition to a focus on academic excellence, students are encouraged to think critically and question the world around them.

Dedicated teachers are supported in improving their skills through regular in-service training workshops conducted throughout the year.

Furthermore, through a wide range of extra and co-curricular activities, ABWA aims to develop a child’s personality and stimulate them to be mindful, sensitive, and responsible members of society.

The institution also emphasizes the socio-emotional development of every child, ensuring that each one feels safe, supported, and motivated.

Chairperson - Mrs. Neerja birla

At ABWA, there is a constant debate about the role of the school in a child's life, with ongoing questions about what success truly looks like. The school has achieved some significant milestones in recent years, including securing 6th place in the all-India international school rankings and 2nd in the Mumbai rankings.

While such recognition provides motivation, what truly drives ABWA is the ability to confidently say, at the end of the day, that each student has been successfully guided to identify, appreciate, and tap into their unique potential.

In a rapidly-changing world where children have more access to information than ever before, and are more likely to work in multicultural and evolving settings, ABWA recognizes the importance of focusing not only on academic potential but also on emotional intelligence, equipping students to handle change and diversity.

The school environment is designed to foster positivity and resilience—two key traits that help individuals adapt to various situations, and which studies have shown to be common among successful and happy people. ABWA remains committed to nurturing talent and encouraging students to let their imagination fuel their passions.

Principal - Mrs. Radhika Sinha

A school is always a "world in miniature," where one receives "training for life" and where effective and meaningful learning occurs. It is within this environment that individuals learn to accept challenges, celebrate victories, face defeat, and develop resilience.

If students can enjoy their childhood while also developing sensitivity to life's issues, then it can be confidently said that the school is on the path of its mission to "nurture the innate potential of its students and shape them into passionate, committed, competent, sensitive, value-based individuals with leadership qualities."

Each school upholds the values it stands for with conviction, thus creating its unique identity and ethos. There is a strong commitment to the emotional well-being of the students, and the aim is to provide a safe atmosphere where children can journey through their learning with confidence and joy.

A wide range of curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular disciplines is offered to tap into each child's unique potential, fueling their curiosity and passion for learning. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

PASTORAL CARE

The ABWA Pastoral Care Department is dedicated to supporting the all-round development of learners. At Aditya Birla World Academy, it is recognized that for learners to reach their full potential, they must feel safe, valued, and respected in their learning environment. Consequently, student wellbeing is central to the school’s philosophy. ABWA provides an environment and curriculum that challenges learners to achieve their highest potential while developing the knowledge, skills, and resilience necessary to become successful global citizens.

The school's counsellors are a team of highly qualified and trained mental health professionals who work with learners both individually and collectively to foster a school climate conducive to healthy learning, living, and growth. This team collaborates closely with parents, teachers, and section heads to create a warm and caring environment that supports the academic growth of each learner. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the department’s work, enabling harmonious and healthy interactions with all stakeholders.

ABWA's counselling approach is both preventive and responsive, ensuring that the social-emotional needs of students are met. To promote continuous social-emotional learning, the department also organizes whole-school activities, such as Wellness Weeks and Global School Play Day.
