About Us
A note from our Executive Director,
Dr. Sitara Vikram.
A warm welcome to CS Academy.
At our institutions, we aim to provide excellence in education and enable each child to achieve her or his full potential in a stimulating setting. Over the recent years, there has been an increase in the choices available regarding school education. However, the essence of school education remains the same – to repare students for success in the real world and to make them productive citizens of society.
Therefore, our focus is on ensuring the delivery of practical education which will help our children be successful in the long run. The emphasis is on developing skills such as communication, critical thinking, group work and leadership. Our curriculum is tailored to encompass the right blend of academics, play and self exploration. Emphasis is placed on creative teaching methodologies and children are encouraged to question, explore and arrive at answers. A variety of co-curricular activities and sports are woven into our curriculum on an everyday basis to provide broad exposure along multiple dimensions. The availability of both CBSE and International boards provides students with the flexibility to select the track best suited to them.
Our team brings a mixture of practical hands-on experience in education, in child development and in industry. Our blend of academic excellence, co-scholastic development, physical education and skill development programs makes the school years a rewarding and holistic experience.
Welcome again to CS Academy.

Our Purpose
CS Academy enables students to compete on equal footing with those from the world’s best institutions in the areas of academics, skills and co-curricular activities. We equip our students with the knowledge and skills required to succeed in the real world by providing practical and holistic education in a challenging yet nurturing environment.
We prepare students for success by focusing on four pillars: Academic Excellence, Skill Building, Core Values and Healthy Competition.
Academic Excellence
We focus on fundamentals, placing utmost importance on what happens inside the classroom.
Core Values
Our responsibility is to develop individuals with a strong set of values. We provide an environment for children to explore and imbibe our core values – Perseverance, Respect, Empathy, Teamwork and Integrity.
Skill Building
Students need to learn the skills and habits required for lifelong success. Our skill building programmes are focused on developing strong communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and leadership.
Healthy Competition
The world is competitive and we believe children need to know how to compete in a healthy fashion. Our curriculum includes regular competitive programmes that help students participate and explore in a safe environment and experience the joys of winning, while learning how to lose gracefully.
CS Academy’s Leadership Team
Our team has extensive experience in the fields of K-XII education, corporate training, learning and development and career guidance. In addition, our team members also bring high quality local and international experience in the field of education.
