Sri. N.SESHA REDDY My career began as Lecturer. I always aspired to qualify in Service commission examinations.
Chairman Failure greeted the student in me. But it could not make a dent in my clarity of vision and belief.
At that tender age itself I pretty well knew the destiny of my life. Struggle to study under kerosene
lamps, to attend school of inadequate buildings and to get along with what is available - all these
turned my determination into steel. So came into existence ADITYA. To-day ADITYA stands tall in
coastal districts from KG to PG with

• 50 Educational Institutions
• 5,000 employees
• 50,000 students.

This success is because of three aspects. The initiative, determination and commitment on my
part and broad vision and the desire to serve the students on the part of my Heads of institutions
and the belief of parents on ADITYA. Development has been consistent because we never took
the middle ground - uncompromised all the way in providing infrastructure, dedicated teaching
faculty and policy that adopted to the changing needs.

We strongly believe in this philosophy - thought, word and deed: if a firm is run inefficiently
the loss accrues to that firm or connected persons alone; but if an educational institution is run
inefficiently or negligently lives of thousands of students are at peril.

ADITYA has these inherent traditional values. We got the reward, too, in plenty. To-day students
from various North Eastern states and other foreign countries come to seek education in ADITYA.
This gives me satisfaction. Students who studied in ADITYA have formed Aditya Alumni Association
in America (AAAA)! When I came to know this my joy knew no bounds. My ambitions, aspirations,
and efforts bore fruit and I feel immensely gratified. Management shares the common belief that
each student has inherent potential and it is for the institution to bring it out.

"Student is not a vase to fill, but a fire to be lit”. We are aware how parents from middle class
background sacrifice all their bare personal needs to educate their children - what do they expect
in return? Nothing short of a well disciplined education and remunerative employment - thus we
account for each rupee they spend. Younger generation which is more capable with wide exposure,
awareness on modern technical innovations and strategic developments in the present day world
is at the service of ADITYA institutions - This is a fortune for ADITYA.

Well, what more can I say to the trusting parents and earnest students. ADITYA has been and
always will be at your service. I wish you all the best.

Mr. N K Deepak Reddy After completing my study in Good Shepherd School of Ooty which is considered the best in the
Secretary country, I established my identity with software field as a team leader. When categorization of their
previous identity to an educational institution is analysed my observation on the functioning of the
team members results with multiple differences in approach.

With an intention to share my experiences and to propel the students of Aditya to reach higher
altitudes in their careers, I have taken up the assignment as secretary of the group.

From the very day of taking over the assignment, I am pondering over to implement an exemplary
methodology in instruction which brings an overall development to the children from their infancy.
Advocating the above principle in word and deed, we are running Lakshya International School
with a commitment to deliver excellence to the students not only in instruction but also to bring
holistic development with a national and international perspective. Lakshya moulds the students to
reach an ambitious growth either in their career of employment or as a Business Tycoon.

Mr. Satyaki Banerjee Dear all,
Head of School Greetings and Welcome to Lakshya International School !!

“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life
believing that it is stupid” – Albert Einstein

As the founder principal, I do welcome the opportunity to introduce you to Lakshya International
School.

One of the most important decisions that any family makes is the school they choose for their
child’s education."Our mission is to provide positive catalytic impulses to every CHILD to stretch
his inherent learning competencies through a self discovery process."

At Lakshya International School, the uniqueness of each child will be recognized, nurtured and
treasured.

Education is a complete process that leads to the attainment of the full potential of the child. Our
endeavor is to equip our students with life-skills to face the real world - be it planning, organizing,
deciding, questioning, reasoning, analyzing, team-building, communicating effectively or dealing
with challenges confidently.

Our focus is to develop our students as global citizens, with tolerance, respect and appreciation of
diverse cultures and religions for a life-time learning experience. They should be self-motivated,
independent, confident decision makers to take up leadership roles in future.

At Lakshya, we arm our students with technological supremacy and help them integrate it with
values, morals and our cultural legacy. The school curriculum has been painstakingly planned on
scientific guidelines to provide students with intellectual stimulation, physical robustness, social
adaptability, emotional independence and leadership qualities. It is our endeavor to establish a
quality – conscious school where……

• Excellence is driven by values,
• Success is strengthened by ethics and
• Modernity is fortified by tradition.

We at Iakshya truly believe that each child entrusted to us will receive education in its finest
form. We are aware that learning is a lifelong process and, therefore, students are motivated to
challenge their hidden potential.

Our Educational Philosophy

At the heart of Lakshya’s educational philosophy is the firm belief
that all students can become successful learners and that there are
no predetermined limits to what students can accomplish at any age.
Lakshya International School teaching methods are informed by the
“theory of multiple intelligences” developed by Howard Gardner.
Students come to LIS with varying intelligences, abilities, passions
and skills. Curricular units are carefully designed to engage students
with a variety of learning styles. A broad range of materials, activities,
approaches, and interconnected learning opportunities encourages
each student to discover and develop his or her own strengths.
Students are also taught to recognize those areas where they may
need to review in order to master required skills and content.

LIS school offers students an Education for Life – imparting
knowledge and skills so students can develop their character,
personal leadership, work ethic, compassion and values, and
become thoughtful, confident, principled and dynamic individuals
in the world. LIS is full of opportunities for personal development,
achievement and enjoyment.

Furthermore, we encourage parents actively engage in their child’s
education as studies have shown that positive and productive links
between home and school are vital to a child's development. We
have an active Parent Engagement Programme providing parents a
platform that enables them to participate in their child's education
as well as campus life.

Secondary Curriculum

School Curriculum Mission and Goals : The curriculum will adopt the following principles:

a. to create a connect between learners' spiritual, ethical, social, cognitive, mental and physical growth and
development.
b. to nurture individuality and thus enhance one's innate potential.
c. to foster constitutional literacy and tolerance for different cultures.
d. to develop scientific outlook and transformative competences, in order to meet the demands of a changing

The aim of education is not just to let learners obtain basic knowledge but to make them life-long learners. It is
to nurture future citizens who are mentally and physically robust, assertive, confident, empathetic and helpful to
the community, intellectually inquisitive and reflective, tolerant and with a creative vision and global perspective.
Schools will accomplish such standards through the promotion of value based learning activities which emphasize
humanity, practicality, individuality, inclusiveness, and modernity. Such activities involve collaborations between
oneself and others, individuals and the community, as well as humans and nature.

To achieve this, we must guide our learners to achieve the following curriculum goals:

To enhance self-awareness and explore innate potential.
To develop creativity and the ability to appreciate art and showcase one's own talents.
To promote capabilities related to goal setting, decision making and lifelong learning.
To nurture assertive communication and interpersonal skills.

community, and focus on preserving environment.
To foster cultural learning and international understanding in an interdependent society.
To strengthen knowledge and attitude related to livelihood skills.
