Academy of Excellence
Conceptualization: While there is no dearth of private classes for extracurricular activities for the regular students, there was no such place for the Special needs kids. Even if they enrolled in the regular classes they would usually not be able to cope with fast-paced learning. With the main goal of aiding the physical and mental development of the children as well as providing a unique opportunity to the special children of Vadodara, the Academy of Excellence was opened on 29th Dec 2015. Here we give the opportunity to Special needs individuals of all age groups irrespective of whether they are enrolled in the School or not and at very subsidized rates.
