Parent Communication

Parents play an essential and positive role in the life of an independent school. Their support of their children’s education, the faculty and staff, and the school are essential for an independent school to thrive and achieve its full potential.

When parents enrol their child in NYA, they agree to subscribe to its mission, follow its rules, and abide by its decisions. Trust and mutual respect are the most essential underpinnings of effective relationships between a school and parents.

NYA encourages parents to work productively with teachers and administrators by staying informed about their child’s progress and important events in the life of the school. Thoughtful questions and suggestions are welcomed. Furthermore, we make every effort to keep parents informed of pertinent information.

Parents best support a school climate of trust and respect by communicating concerns openly and constructively to the teacher or administrator closest to the problem. Efforts by parents to lobby other parents will be viewed by the school as counterproductive. Our senior leadership team maintain an open-door policy.

Parent Teachers Association

The PTA is a non-profit, non–political and non–sectarian advisory organization made up of school staff and parents which work to support the school in a wide variety of ways. The role of the PTA is to contribute to the school’s operation such as, volunteering to organize social events that foster community spirit or to raise unsolicited funds to provide student and teacher scholarship opportunities for further personal or professional development. Regular monthly meetings are held to ensure timey communication on school happenings.

Parent Teacher Meetings

Students are issued narrative progress reports Semester followed by scheduled parent-teacher conferences. Standards-based report cards are issued at the end of each semester. Teachers and administrators care greatly about all facets of your child’s growth. If an issue arises that needs to be addressed before one of the scheduled conferences, your child’s teacher or an administrator will contact you. Likewise, if you have a question regarding your child’s progress or general welfare, please do not hesitate to set up a conference with your child’s teachers.

Hear From Satisfied Parents

My daughter, Aryahi Reddy Ananthula, is currently studying in Grade 2 at New York Academy. She has been a part of the school for the past 3.5 years, and choosing this school has been one of the best decisions for our family. After moving back from the United States, one of our biggest concerns was finding a school that could provide the same high standards of education and a globally focused learning environment. We wanted Aryahi to continue learning at an international level, like what she experienced in the U.S. I am happy to say that New York Academy has exceeded our expectations. The school's curriculum focuses not only on academics but also on developing critical thinking, creativity, communication, confidence, and strong values. The inquiry-based learning approach has nurtured her curiosity and love for learning.

I would like to share my experience about my daughter, Dishitha, who is studying in Grade 2 at New York Academy. Over the past year, I have seen a remarkable improvement in Dishitha's overall development. She communicates with confidence, enjoys reading and writing, takes initiative in her learning, and has become more organised and responsible. I especially love seeing her share her ideas confidently and approach new challenges with curiosity and enthusiasm. One thing that has touched our family is the mindfulness she learns at school. She often reminds us to stay calm, take a deep breath, and focus on the present. It is amazing to see how these simple lessons have become a part of our daily life at home. We are also happy to have Ms. Puja Sharma continue as Dishitha's teacher in Grade 2 after teaching her in Grade 1. Having her guidance for a second consecutive year has made a huge difference, as she understands my daughter's strengths and areas where she needs support. Ms. Puja has always been approachable and transparent, keeping us informed about Dishitha's progress, achievements, and any support she may need. It is comforting to know that our child is genuinely cared for, encouraged, and given individual attention every day.

"Harvey has been part of the NYA family since Grade 1. Having transitioned from an IB school overseas, the curriculum at NYA made the move seamless and allowed him to settle into his new learning environment with confidence. Over the past year, we have seen Harvey grow not only academically but also socially and personally. He has become more confident, curious, and eager to learn. What stands out most is the genuine care and attention the teachers give each child. Harvey has been blessed to have Ms. Pooja as his class teacher for the past year, and we are so thankful that she continues to guide him in Grade 2. She takes the time to understand the child's unique strengths and needs, supporting and encouraging them in ways that help them thrive. From the teachers to the support staff, everyone contributes to making the school a place where children feel valued, safe, and inspired to do their best. We are incredibly grateful to be part of the New York Academy community and look forward to seeing Harvey continue to grow and flourish.
