CCA Academy strongly believes that given the right tools, students will thrive in taking charge of their own development, but to help them achieve this, it is necessary to recognize the importance and value of both academic achievement and co-curricular activities as a part of a child’s daily curriculum. It may seem like a small change, but by demonstrating to students that we view these activities as equally important to academic study, we encourage participation and character building. The vision of our academy is not only to see a child grow up with interest towards life, but also as an important contributor to society after the school and university days are over. Engagement with non-academic pursuits is not only beneficial to student development, but is known to be highly valued by employers too. What if employers get people with skills like, the ability to accept responsibility, follow directions, poise and high personal ideals already embedded in them? These are marketable skills in this 21 st century competitive world —and these are the very skills that our mentors try to cultivate through co-curricular activities in CCA Academy . We encourage personal accomplishments and the development of interpersonal skills. Adolescents who participate in these activities have opportunities to assume meaningful roles and responsibilities. The sense of efficacy students gain from these experiences can be an important protective factor for those growing up under adverse circumstances.
Co-curricular activities are typically, but not always, defined by their separation from academic courses. For example, they are ungraded, they do not allow students to earn academic credit, they may take place outside of school or after regular school hours, and they may be operated by outside organizations. For all-round development of a child, there is a need of emotional, physical, spiritual and moral development that is complemented and supplemented by Co-curricular Activities. In this regard, CCA Academy tries to facilitate the development of various domains of mind and personality such as intellectual development, emotional development, social development, moral development and aesthetic development. Creativity, Enthusiasm, Energetic and Positive thinking are some of the facets of personality development and the outcomes of co-curricular activities which we try to promote.
Mentors of CCA Academy are not only good planners of different activities, they are also innovators giving more and more unique opportunities to the child while performing and exploring dimensions of co-curricular activities. They are unbiased, willing to learn from their learners as well as give their best. Each and every mentor associated with CCA Academy acts like a director, recorder, evaluator, manager, decision maker, advisor, motivator, communicator, coordinator, so that the student and child could gain the maximum of finer aspects of Co-curricular activities.
We, the family of CCA Academy earnestly believe that we are teaching young people to serve and build a healthy community and that too by not hampering their daily school time activities. When young people from various quarters come together to learn a new skill, they learn to trust and depend on each other too. In their quest for knowing something new and enjoyable, they unknowingly develop themselves, they become valued, competent resources. Their experiences transform who they are—in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. They appreciate the value of their own contribution to community and develop a lasting commitment to do their part and to do it well.
We are also located in several parts of the city and within easy communicable reach for all. Since adequate space and surrounding environment play a vital role in aiding new learning, we provide excellent secured space and surrounding for the children. CCA Academy also has its branches spread out to different schools and institutes in Kolkata and its suburbs.
The vision of CCA Academy is to be the champion, who every child may need to be winners. Since all winners are dreamers, we try to be the pathway leading to realisation of that dream. We earnestly reach out to one and all to help us in our endeavour to create a better environment.
