Head of the school message
Welcome to the New York Academy — we are a vibrant community where curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and every child is empowered to learn.
At the heart of our philosophy lies a deep commitment to progressive, child-centred education. We believe that each learner brings a unique blend of talents, interests, and perspectives to our classrooms. Our role as educators is to create an environment where thosequalities are valued and cultivated — where learning is not about memorising facts, but about questioning, exploring, and discovering meaning in the world around us.
Our vision is clear: to inspire and support our students to become inquiring, knowledgeable, reflective, and empathetic global citizens and leaders who collaborate with others to create a better and more peaceful world for all. This vision guides everything we do — from the way we design our curriculum to the relationships we build within our school community.
In an ever-changing world, we believe that education must continue to evolve in order to remain relevant and aligned to the future needs. In this way, we can successfully prepare our children for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow. At NYA our programs are attuned to the future, weaving essential skills — such as critical thinking, digital literacy, creativity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence — into daily discussions, learning experiences, and creative pursuits. We empower our students to become innovators, problem-solvers, and compassionate leaders who will shape a more just and sustainable future.
Our academic team at NYA are passionate facilitators of learning who inspire curiosity, encourage reflection, and guide students to take ownership of their educational journeys. Together, we create a culture where learning is joyful (our catch phrase is “We are a Happy School”), purposeful, and transformative. Being on staff at NYA means something to each of us, and what we do has purpose and meaning for our students. We genuinely care about our kids!
As we look ahead, 2026 marks a momentous milestone in NYA’s journey as the school approaches its 10-year anniversary. We are thrilled to celebrate this achievement with the planned inauguration of our new, state-of-the-art 2 nd campus at Aziz Nagar. This is a spacethoughtfully designed to inspire learning, collaboration, and creativity. We believe it will be a game changer for how education can be provided in Hyderabad. The new campus will initially welcome our elementary students, offering the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) alongside the American Common Core Curriculum. This combination will provide a rich, internationally minded and expansive academic approach towards becoming a lifelong learner.
In the following year, we look forward to expanding our programs with the introduction of a Middle School, offering the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) — further strengthening our continuum of inquiry-based, globally focused education. As our future IB students’ progress through the school, they will graduate under the world renowned IB Diploma Program (DP). As we step into this exciting new chapter, we remain steadfast in our mission to nurture every child’s potential and to equip them with the knowledge, empathy, and courage to make a meaningful difference in the world. Why don’t you join us on the journey?!
