Sou. A. K. Joshi English Medium School, Thane, was established in 1976 by the Vidya Prasarak Mandal (VPM) — a reputed educational trust founded in 1935, known for its unwavering commitment to academic excellence and community service. The vision of the great educationist Dr. V. N. Bedekar and his contemporaries gave birth to this institution, aimed at providing quality English-medium education to the students of Thane.
From humble beginnings, the school has grown into one of the most respected educational institutions in the region. It has consistently demonstrated outstanding academic performance, maintaining a 100% result in SSC Board Examinations for over 25 years. Students have also brought laurels to the school through their remarkable achievements at city, divisional, state, national, and international levels.
As the school proudly celebrates its 50th year of establishment in the current academic year, it continues to uphold the vision and values that have defined its remarkable journey.
Due to requests from parents and in response to the needs of our students, our school is
considering transitioning to the CBSE curriculum. The CBSE curriculum is often seen as
offering more opportunities and better alignment with educational goals, and our school is
working to ensure that the transition is well-planned and smooth in order to provide the best
possible education to its students.
We are researching the CBSE curriculum and assessing whether it is a good fit for the
school's mission and goals. This involves comparing the two curricula and considering the
needs and preferences of the school's students and faculty.
We will become accredited by the CBSE in order to teach the CBSE curriculum. We have
submitted an application and are going through an accreditation process, which may include
on-site visits and evaluations.
We will be making some changes to its facilities and resources in order to accommodate the
CBSE curriculum. This includes purchasing new textbooks, updating classrooms and labs,
and training teachers in the new curriculum.
We are communicating about its transition to the CBSE curriculum with stakeholders,
including students, parents, teachers, and the community. This may involve holding
information sessions or sending out informational materials
Once we complete the necessary preparations, we can begin implementing the CBSE
curriculum. This may involve updating lesson plans, adjusting teaching methods, and
providing ongoing professional development for teachers.
Overall, transitioning from the SSC to the CBSE curriculum is a significant undertaking that
requires careful planning and coordination. It is important for us to carefully consider the
benefits and challenges of making this transition and to work closely with all stakeholders to
ensure a smooth transition.
Our knowledgeable staff is available to answer any questions regarding the registration process and the new curriculum transition.
Vidya Prasarak Mandal like a big banyan tree branched out in many educational institutions. As you all know our Sou A. K. Joshi School ranks 1st in Thane with SSC Board syllabus. All members of A.K. Joshi Parivar continuously work with full of dedication to impart quality education for the development and progress of the students.
