Resource Academia

Realizing the importance of high standard education, especially in the foundation years which play a pivotal role in the physical and mental development of children, the Punjab Group of Colleges with a proven track record of producing hundreds of professionals in Law, Commerce, Business and IT, has taken a landmark initiative in the field of primary education by establishing Resource Academial.

Resource Academia is an institution comprising three branches, the Pre-Junior School from Pre- School to Class III, Middle and Senior School from Class IV to O Level and an A Level Campus. Buildings have been planned to accommodate over 1200 students. The institution is fully equipped to impart high quality education through its state of the art science and computer laboratories, library and research facilities. The curriculum has been developed by a team of highly learned subject specialists and is based on the GCE O & A Level British National Curriculum, which is regularly updated according to the ever growing educational needs. A sustained evaluation and development system is followed, beginning from pre school and proceeding upwards according to the standards and requirements of QCA (Qualification and Curriculum Assessment Authority) of the United Kingdom leading to Cambridge International Examinations.

Resource Academia provides a highly interactive environment to groom children, engaging them in activities that involve imagination, exploration and innovation. To us every child is a unique person with an individual pattern of learning, understanding, assimilation and analyzing. Resource Academia believes that these formative years, if handled professionally by dedicated and qualified educationists, can make the vital difference between success and failure.

Respect for rules is the first lesson of education. Parents and pupils are expected to read and abide by the following rules:
