Home Academy Sr. Secondary School, Bhogpur
Home Academy, Sr,Secondary School is an English Medium Co Educational school run by the managing Committee of the Children’s Home Society affiliated to CBSE (NewDelhi) and reserves to itself the right to run the school according to its norms.
The Chief aim of the institution includes training its students to become useful citizens of their motherland as well as to develop in them habits of pity, human virtues, discipline and self-sufficiency.
The school was started by Dr. David G. Fiol,Principal and Mrs Eleanor A. Fiol on July 17,1974 with 14 students-twelve from the Children’s Home and two staff children - and one teacher Mrs Violet Singh in the only free space they could find - a garage. The school was to be an English Medium in order to give the children of the Home better access to higher education and the professions. The hard work and untiring efforts of the Principal and teachers has led the school to achieve the heights it has reached today. As one more class was added each year to high school - and later, higher secondary - the number of students and staff increased. Accordingly,the facilities expanded - first in temporary sheds and finally in an attractive complex of permanent buildings and facilities,that highlight today’s campus, located at the property of the Children’s Home Society.
The school is now equipped with all the facilities that are necessary to impart quality education to the students. To name a few - Science laboratories ( Physics, Chemistry & Biology) well equipped library, computer lab,big and airy classrooms with comfortable desks and benches and a large playground that was carved out of an infertile ridge filled with huge boulders. The first students took the Class VIII board examination in English as private candidates and did well. Later the school was granted recognition under CBSE Board up Class X and then XII. Several years ago the Managing Community of the school and the Board accessed the long - expressed desire of the wider local community to admit a limited number of their students.
At present we have a well trained and experienced teaching staff who work together in harmony under the able guidance of the Principal.There has been an overwhelming response, as witnessed from the increasing demand for admissions. Thus, from the initial humble start of 14 students in 1974 to a number exceeding more 154 students at present is obviously an achievement for the school.
Besides academics activities we offer a wide variety of co-curricular activities. Throughout these years, the interest and spirit of the students are kept with engaging competitions like sports,quizzes,painting, inter-class debates and speech competitions etc
The utmost dedication and hard work of the Management, Principal, teachers and the best efforts of the students have brought laurels to the school in every sphere.
