Picture a school that offers quality education regardless of a kid’s financial background. Bringing this vision of affordable education to reality has been the inspiration behind Nanduba English Academy. Schools are like second homes, places where students learn and grow both academically and personally. But for many families, the cost of a good education is a heavy burden that they cannot easily afford. Nanduba English Academy aims to change that. This CBSE school believes that education is not a privilege but a basic right.

Founded in 2010 as part of the 60-year-old Kantha Vibhag Navnirman Mandal trust, the school lives by a mission that a child's potential should not be limited by their parent's income. Here, affordability doesn't mean compromise. With a team of highly qualified management and dedicated teachers, the school does not compromise on offering holistic and well-rounded education that emphasizes both academic and extracurricular success.

What makes it special is that the school don't just care about what's in the textbooks. The school wants to know what the children are passionate about and what makes them unique. The school celebrates it's children's talents, whether they are a math whiz, a budding artist, or a future scientist. The school even has special scholarships for kids who shine extra bright! This holistic approach to education ensures that students are ready to take on the challenges of the world.

Unlike many private institutions that rely on hefty donations, this trust-supported academy ensures that education remains accessible with affordable fees and scholarships to high-achieving students. Fully funded scholarships are provided for students with merit, instilling in them a sense of confidence and ambition. Dr. Monika Sharma, the Principal of Nanduba English Academy explains, “We also provide free education for students who score above 90 percent after 8th grade”.
The school's supportive environment has helped them attain remarkable results of a 100 percent pass rate in 10th standard boards, in the last academic year. From 600 enrolled students in 2022 to 2000+ students in 2023, people’s trust in the academy has been proved by 1,500 new admissions in the last year alone. Dr. Monika Sharma has been at the forefront of this progress within one year of her joining. Her umpteen efforts and achievements were recognized with the prestigious Education Excellence Award 2023. Proudly, the award was presented to her by the President of Mauritius. She has also assumed the role of Skill Ambassador for Skill India.
