Loyola Academy College, located in Chennai, Maraimalai Nagar, India, is an English Medium school run by Jesuits in association with their Loyola College, Chennai. Affiliated with Osmania University, this private school offers bachelors and masters degrees, and has officially changed its gender admission policy to co-education.[3] Industrial visits include representatives from Asian Paints, Cognizant, HDFC Bank, Infosys, and Wipro.
Background
Loyola Academy was founded to serve poor, Dalit children who were suffering from lack of educational opportunities. It is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi. According to the India census, the literacy rate for the rural districts of Chennai was "0" in 2011.[4] Also, an original concern of Loyola Academy was to serve Abraham students,[5] of whom 21 boys and 16 girls were attending in 2014; special care is given to them, including summer camps.[6]
Activities
Activities include volleyball, basketball, karate, yoga, chess, keyboad, band, folk dance, computer designing, embroidery, and communicative English. There are also awareness programmes: LASAC (Leadership And Social Awareness Camp), NEEM (Nature Environment Ecology Movement), MAP (Movement for Anti-Plastic), LAMP (Loyola Animation Movement for the Poor), and GSP (Government Services Programme).
Spiritual consciousness is inculcated through class and school assemblies with an interfaith approach. All staff members gather each morning for a short common worship, religious and cultural festivals are celebrated schoolwide, Catholic students are given catechism classes, and monthly Eucharistic celebrations are organized outside of class time for Catholics.[6]
